The Burial Ground
The Burial Ground
Adjacent to the Meeting House lies the Burial Ground. There are about three hundred graves of which only about fifty have gravestones. There is a register of burials which along with a map, keeps a record of the names of those interred since the first burial in 1865. The regulations of the Society insist that headstones shall be of uniform height with simple inscription. These rules were designed to discourage social differences and serve as a reminder that God is no respecter of persons.
Surnames which appear frequently in early records are:
Baillie Fisher Kane Reynolds
Barcroft Flynn Lamb Richardson
Dale Green Little Rodgers
Davies Harding McCullough Shannon
Davis Harris Moses Sinton
Doyle Haydock Nicholson Weir
England Hobson Pearson Wilson
Fennell Honeyford Pedlow
Ferguson Jowle Prichard
