Can you fill in any of these history blanks?
Notes:
There was a Baptist Church beside the cemetery at one time but never in my lifetime. My mother has a very old photograph sent to her by former owners of their property and the steeple of the church is visible over the tree tops. I don't know the history of the church but the cemetery is very old and many people from "outback" are buried there as it was the cemetery nearest to them and pre-dates the Stickney Cemetery. By "outback" I am referring to those who settled on lots not fronting the St. John River and on higher and more rugged land. The cemetery was part of the original Loyalist grant of Obadiah Tompkins.
