M. N. Rees' comments:

"Within the pages of this document, I have compiled the names of 64 people taken from the 42 remaining tombstones of this once 'forgotten' graveyard. However, others are known to be buried there, yet have no markers of any kind.

I grew up almost beside this graveyard, and didn't even know it existed until I was around 7 or 8 years of age. It was unkept after the St John's Anglican Church was gone, thus growing up in bushes and trees, undistinguishable from the main roadway.

As I remember, sometime in the mid to late 1960's, some interested people discovered this graveyard and naturally were disgusted with the way the community had neglected the upkeep of this resting place of the settlers and ancestors before them.

Then, gradually, the trees and bushes were cut, and on a few occasions some interested people of Magundy and the nearby communities of Blaney Ridge and Magaguadavic engaged in what the country people know as a 'frolic' to erect the stones which were cracked, broken or strewn in disarray over the graveyard.

Sometime in the early to mid 1970's, a plaque was made and erected into the face of a large stone at the front of the cemetery. Also, a large wooden sign was erected saying, 'The Old Magundy Churchyard'.

I became interested in obtaining some information regarding my 'HENRY' family tree (as Henry is my maiden name), and decided to start searching in this old cemetery. But once I got there with my pencil and paper in hand, I got carried away, and copied down everything that was inscribed on each stone. I visited this cemetary twice while doing this research, simply to make sure that everything I copies down was correct."
