Local Cemeteries in the Dell Area:
Mooney Cemetery: On an old Indian mound north of Dell lies what is known locally as the Mooney Cemetery. Many of the tombstones date back to the mid-19th century, but the mound was used by Native Americans long before that. Many burial sites are unmarked. Many tombstones are broken and lost. The following is a list of the those that remain, as recorded by Gerald Sizemore:

Wilkins Cemetery: Ekron/Half Moon Area: Sometime in the mid-90s, Mom (Irene Magers Duncan) and I fought our way through the briars and brambles on a mission to record as many tombstones as possible in this cemetery. I'm sure we did not find all the marked graves. It was also apparent that many graves had never been marked.
