Other (From an article about old cemeteries in the county): "Another very old cemetery is little known, and that is on Mrs. Harriet Alden's farm on the hill near the farm of Mrs. W.A. Cox [near Mooresville, Indiana]...Mrs. Anna Stuart Matthews [was buried there] in 1865. [Journey Through the Past gives her date of death as 1864.] She was the second wife of Hiram Matthews, Morgan County's first judge. Before her marriage to Mr. Matthews, she was a widow, Stuart, who came from Scotland. One of her children died on the ocean voyage and was buried at sea, and the other two died soon after her arrival, and she chose this hillside for a place of burial, and before her death asked that she be laid to rest beside them." [Naturalized in Morgan County in February 1844.]
