the murder of a man in 1815. He was acquited. In the history they refered to him as Elijah V. Turner. -Pam Osborne160 |

DELPHI or STONEY CREEK CEMETERY. To locate this cemetery, drive south on Delphi Road SW, which is on the west side of Olympia. From US Highway 101, go south approximately 6 miles to the Wadell Creek Road. Proceed on Wadell Creek Road for 0.2 mile. On your left you will see a rustic road going into the woods. The cemetery is fenced and there is a place to park and turn around. This little cemetery is a part of the John Harlow homestead. The first person buried here was Margaret M. Turner 1797-1890. Some of the graves have no markers. Information as to those graves came from two lists, one provided by Mrs. Grace Brown in 1967, and the other provided by Jasper Martin, former superintendent of Masonic Memorial Park Cemetery. The lists were vertually identical. This cemetery is owned by the Methodist Church and maintained by descendants of the persons buried there.141
Cemetery note says, "relative of the Endicotts"142
There is a descrepency between the death date in the cemetery lists cited here which say 1890, and her headstone which says 1896. See photograph.
Unrelated to Margaret Elmira Miller that married James Starr. |
| Research |
| Note that 1880 US Census says she was born in South Carolina, and her mother in North Carolina, and father -- which may mean immigrated. |
