raising projects were started. The oldest marked grave is that
of Mordecai D. Fleming who died 26 Oct 1849. This may, however,
be a commemorative marker only and not the burial. The next oldest
burial is Mary McLean who died 30 July 1876. This cemetery was
surveyed by Lawrence and Sue Dale on 8 and 9 Feb 1999. We visited
this cemetery again on 1 Feb 2003 to take the GPS Coordinates.
We also did a re walk of the cemetery on 5 May 2004 adding new
burials and noting marker changes."
