Franklin Jarvis Greenwood (1804-1882), who came to Texas in
1829, donated land for this cemetery. It was originally called "High
Point" for a nearby settlement. The first known interments were
Greenwood's daughters Mary Anne (b. 1840) and Harriet. They died in 1856 of
cholera. Graves of yellow fever victims were specially marked to avoid spread
of the epidemic. Many burials are descendants of Stephen F. Austin colonists.
The name of the cemetery and town changed to "Stoneham" after John H.
Stoneham (1829-1894) gave land for the railroad in 1879.
