Moonville Cemetery
Random Graves - Click for Larger View
The Moonville Cemetery is on a hillside just past the iron bridge. There are at least 13 known graves at the cemetery. Many more have been lost to time - only gentle indentations in the soil remain, if anything. This is an early cemetery. Some of the area residents were located between Hope and Moonville and were buried in the Keeton Cemetery near where the town of Hope and the town of Hope Furnace were once located. Those who were Catholic may have been buried in a Catholic cemetery in Zaleski. Keeton Cemetery is near the Lake Hope State Park campground just a few miles away.
