| General Information |
| The OES visited Stevenson Cemetery on July 30, 2007. Established in 1815, this cemetery has at least ten recorded burials, but there are probably many more that were unmarked/unrecorded. No tombstones remain in the cemetery, but there is a foot marker for John Stevenson, who was a Revolutionary War soldier. According to records, the oldest burial was Rebeccah Dirrick who died in 1816 at 27 years of age and the last burial was Richard Stevenson who died in 1875 at the age of 55 years. On the day we visited, a local boy scout troop had just finished erecting a new fence around the cemetery's perimeter. A ranger with the Metro Parks (which now owns the property) said all of the stones were either broken or illegible, so they were removed to the park's shop. He stated that the cemetery will be undergoing some type of restoration, which may include new replacement stones. Hopefully this will be done so those who are buried in this very old burying ground are not totally forgotten. | |
