David was the first person to be buried in the new Murray City Cemetery in 1841. The last person to be buried in the cemetery was Betty Charbo in 1959.
The local Legend has it that the cemetery is directly over a coal mine shaft and that about 50 years ago some local boys were exploring the shafts and much to their surprise came upon the skeletons and tombstones of the buried which had fallen into the abandoned mine shaft. No effort was made to retrieve them or to move the cemetery, but the cemetery was officially closed to new burials at that time. Sandra K. Mitchell Quinn
