Stony Cemetery Records
Stony Cemetery Gate

Located near Stony, TX in west Denton Co.
Stony Cemetery was created in 1850 and is now inactive but not forgotten.
A lovely angel was added inside the gate in 1998.

Stony Angel

From I-35W take US Hwy. 380 west to FM 2622 turn South. At Old Stony/Stoney Road turn right (West) & continue on gravel road to gate, turn right to dirt road, follow to wooded area. Second gate to cemetery is on the left (South).

This list was gathered by
Daina Rodgers Jordan, Nancy Cleere Rodgers, & Edith Thatcher Cleere on May 18, 1997.  Every effort was made to accurately list each and every headstone, some were in bad condition and others had deteriorated to such a degree that white crosses had already been placed at the grave, unfortunately, with no name. There are about 52 such crosses.
