s/o Samuel, Sr. & Katherine (Menear) Wotring∼PIONEER CEMETERY Aurora, [Preston Co.] WV:
This cemetery was evidentally used by the earilest residents of the Aurora area. It is presently located on a high knoll about 1/4 mile behind the barn on the farm of Dale Stemple. His farm is at the end of the dirt lane which is across the paved road from the present Aurora Cemetery and Church. The Pioneer Cemetery is a square area about 100 by 100 feet. All the older stones have either been broken off at the base or were just temporary stones of a soft type. Only several rows of stone "stubs" exist, with a few pieces of slab laying nearby. One slab has several indentifiable letters. The only existing stones that are legible are several newer ones. They read as follows, left to right, when looking away from the barn.
1. WORTING John 1846 - 1924
Joseph 1859 - 1935
2. Pioneer Cemetery. This monument is dedicated to the early settlers buried here about 1787 - 1845. Presented by Jay F. Stemple 1974.
3. JACOB WAGNER, PA Calvary, Revolutionary War, 1750 - 1834
4. ABRAHAM WORTING, SR., Northampton Militia, 1745 -1809
