The Old Stone Cemetery is located on Moon Road one tenth of a mile east of state route 41. It generally is kept well mown by the township, but many gravestones have been thrown into sunken graves and are now being covered over with grass. The stones are of the "blue rock" granite common to the immediate area, but have been commercially processed. A few stones have no inscriptions. This list was compiled on site on Oct. 23, 1977.
