Pictures and all inscriptions by Pamela Smith, CCGS member, May 2007. Only 1/3 of the inscriptions had
been previously recorded. Many stones had to be rubbed and studied, as most were unreadable. A lot of
the stones have been broke and reset with most of the inscriptions hidden in cement – a big disappointment
to future researchers. The cemetery is very well kept except for the resetting procedure used on the old
stones - which probably could not be helped. A lot of children buried here. I did not dig or probe – the
ground was like concrete and the probes just bent. (a future project). I retyped all inscriptions as there
were so many discrepancies from previous records. I did the best I could, so please excuse any errors.
