The Abraham Moon Family Farm, simply called "The Graveyard", by the Upperman descendants who owned the farm from 1960 until about 2021. It is located about 2/10 of a mile uphill northwest of the house. The cemetery is on private property and is not marked by a fence or sign. One-quarter acre was donated for the cemetery by Abraham Moon I (1771-abt 1849) and Mary (Hull) Moon (1780-1869/70). There were about 15 standing fieldstones; only one, for John Enlow (?-?), had a name lightly scratched on the stone. One would not notice, nor know where to look, for the cemetery without the knowledge of where it is. Workers cutting timber in about 2021 were told to stay away from the cemetery but were not careful and damage was done to the cemetery-knocking down some of the fieldstones.

Information provided by third-great-granddaughter, Margaret (Upperman) Butts (1955- ), Keyser, West Virginia, 2023. (Teresa Townsell, FAG#47611472, 2023)
