The Mooreland cemetery is located on US #36 at its intersection with the Wilbur Wright Road in Blue River Twp. in section #14, just north of mooreland.
     In 1882 Miles M. Moore laid out the "New" village of Mooreland. When the CCC & St. Louis railroad had just been completed between the villages of Blountsville and New Castle, with the site of Mooreland directly in its path and the old Mooreland cemetery located on the property of the Downing family would be next to the RR tracks, so the little village was looking for a new location for their cemetery. In1890 a committee of local residents began negotiating with the Downey family for more land to expand the cemetery, with many residents complaining that it would be too close to the railroad and the committee and the downing heirs could not agree on a price, Charles P. Moore, who owned the property just north of the village, offered to sell a small tract of land to the village for a cemetery. His offer was accepted and on 14 May 1891, the following people were elected trustees to accept the land deed for the cemetery: Charles T. Moore, Newton Davis and Abraham Wrightsman. The first grounds keeper and gravedigger was James Bales.
     After the cemetery was open for burials many families had their deceased family members re-interred in this cemetery from other older and neglected burial grounds. That is the reason you will see several gravestones that date before 1892 in this cemetery.
     Today the Mooreland cemetery is one of the best looking and best-kept cemeteries in Henry County and still used regularly for burials from all over the county.
     Thomas Hamm did the first recordings here in the spring of 1974. Norman Thornburgh and Wilma Massengale recorded the following list of internments and tombstone inscriptions in the summer of 2002. The names were taken from several records tombstones, the cemetery records, burial permits and the burial records of the local mortician Mr. Astor Main.
