Marker Text
The original two acres of land on which this cemetery is located were
donated by John W. Kuykendall in 1852. At the time of the cemetery's founding a
large rock marked the grave of J. W. Hall, who was buried here in 1844. His is
the oldest grave in the cemetery. Subsequent land donations have increased the
size of the graveyard, which has been maintained by the Harmony Hill Cemetery
Association since 1882. Those interred here include early settlers and county
leaders, as well as veterans of the Mexican War, Civil War, World War I, World
War II, and Vietnam.
