Join us at Old Stone Church Cemetery in Wheeling, West Virginia on Sunday May 22nd!
Stone Church Cemetery is located along Stone Church Road in the Elm Grove section of Wheeling, West Virginia. Previous to 1970, the Old Stone Church was located on the Cemetery site.
The cemetery was originally a part of the huge estate of Moses Shepherd of Elm Grove. For many years it functioned only as a graveyard, but in October 1865 Charles DeHass surveyed and laid out the cemetery site.
Stone Church Cemetery is the final resting place of many prominent figures in the Wheeling's history, including 19 Revolutionary War patriots. Among the patriots are two Revolutionary War colonels (David Shepherd and Moses C. Chapline) and two patriots who rose to the rank of colonel in the War of 1812 (Moses Shepherd and Archibald Woods).
