- There is only one graveyard in the locality, and from all appearances it must be very old.
There are many old headstones in this graveyard, and some of them are dated back over a hundred years. It occupies about an acre of ground, and it is surrounded by a well kept wall.
The portion of the eastern side is level, and present the appearance that no body was buried there for a number of years.
It is the custom in this graveyard, to have the centre of the grave raised high, when the corpse is buried. A large sod is place over the clay.
There are also expensive head-stones erected in recent times. It is related by old people that there are bishops and priests in the graveyard.(continues on next page)
