| History: | Originally part of the farm of Jehu Stewart, the land was officially dedicated to cemetery use in May 1859 when Letilla Dudley Stewart buried her husband, Jehu, on the property. It does appear that there were some burials made there prior to that date, and since then a number of family and associations of the Stewart family of Washington County have been buried in this cemetery. The property had been neglected for a number of years. |
