Known as the mysterious moving stone, The stone itself has over the years moved to many different locations in the cemetery earning the reputation of moving by itself. Witnesses profess to seeing the stone in one location one day then return to the cemetery the next day to find the stone in a totally different location with no marks in the ground surrounding it and not a single mark on the stone.

Walter Patrick was one of the early settlers in Bachelors Grove Settlement . He arrived with his parents Alexander and Ann Patrick in New York from Scotland at 8 years old in 1828. They all moved further west to Bachelors Grove in 1846.
William became a prominent and wealthy farmer in the area. He owned a very large farm along what is now Central avenue, just a few blocks from Bachelors Grove Cemetery (as seen on the 1862 map below). Walter was married three times and had a total of eleven children. Two wives, two daughters, his mother and an infant grand daughter are known to be buried in this lot with William.
