About The Stoneham Cemetery
The Stoneham Cemetery was established on land donated by Franklin Jarvis Greenwood, a Texas settler, and was originally known as High Point. Its first burials, in 1856, were Greenwood's daughters, who died of cholera, and many interred there descended from Stephen F. Austin's colonists. The community was renamed Stoneham after John H. Stoneham donated railroad land in 1879.
HISTORY HAPPENED HERE at The Stoneham Cemetery
Franklin Jarvis Greenwood (1804-1882), who came to Texas in 1829, donated land for this cemetery. It was originally called "High Point" for a nearby settlement. The first known interments were Greenwood's daughters Mary Anne (b. 1840) and Harriet. They died in 1856 of cholera. Graves of yellow fever victims were specially marked to avoid spread of the epidemic. Many burials are descendants of Stephen F. Austin colonists. The name of the cemetery and town changed to "Stoneham" after John H. Stoneham (1829-1894) gave land for the railroad in 1879. (1978) Source: https://atlas.thc.texas.gov/Details/5185008618
