This stone marks the grave of Reverend Ulrich Keener. Reverend Keener helped found the Methodist church in the Soco community of Qualla. This was the first permanent Christian church on the boundary. His parsonage still stands (with some structural help and repairs) on the grounds of the church, which also continues to hold services nearly 200 years after its founding.
