January 21 - On This Date in 1831

The Shaker journal entry recording the death of the oldest of the Runyon clan simply reads, "Phineas Runyon, age 87, dies at Pleasant Hill."

Very few headstones exist in the Pleasant Hill graveyard. Although no markers remain for them (if they ever existed), many members of the Runyon family are among those buried in the here.
