Calhoun County has about 200 cemeteries, many of them in remote locations.
The Coen Cemetery at Stinson, high on a mountain above State Rt. 16, had its first burials before 1900, accessed early-on by horses and wagons, but now reached by vehicle up a long and torturous drive-way.
While a number of Calhoun cemeteries have returned to nature and others on the verge, families and neighbors from the Sinson-Mud Fork area ascend the mountain several times each growing season to mow the cemetery.
A citizen buried in the cemetery in more recent years is one of two Calhouners killed during the Vietnam War.

Darrell West was born and lived on Mud Fork and attended Mud Fork School, but his family moved to Ohio to seek employment during the 1950's.

His remains are buried with his parents, James and Alma Coen Cadle West.
