Coal miners, their families, and descendants are buried in the cemetery, Some of the headstones were vandalized about 1990, but many head stones remain legible. The clerk of West Mineral Township has been compiling data on the names and dates of those buried in Star (sometimes Starr) Cemetery.

Some of those buried there are:

Egisto Mazzanti - His headstone is simply marked "M E" At one time there was a photograph of him imbedded in the obelisk shaped stone, but it has long since been removed.
