The land that it sits on was donated to the church by a distant relative of mine...John Miller. He’s buried there.

It was a beautiful place to be married; a simple sophistication. We had our reception in the pavilion at the Madren Center. It was a perfect, Clemson wedding.

I know it was built in the early 1800's and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Andrew Pickens is buried in the cemetery. Pickens, of course, was a militia leader in the American Revolution and a member of the United States House of Representatives from South Carolina.
Pickens, SC was named after him.

When I entered Clemson and moved my

membership to the Fort Hill Presbyterian Church, Clemson families "adopted" new students, offering them a home away from home.
My "adopted" folks were a Mr. and Mrs. Luke Hamilton, he being a long time Clemson employee. I often visited them, enjoying meals, and they provided a place for my dates to stay during home football weekends. They, also, had two cute kids I was very fond of. After graduating I either wrote or visited them until both died, for I dearly loved their family.
And to this day I visit their graves at the Old Stone Church every time I return to Clemson. They were the salt of the earth, and I miss them.
