Morpeth Cemetery

Morpeth Cemetery is located on #3 highway on the east end of Morpeth in Kent County.  The site was originally settled by Israel and Elizabeth Smith in 1818.  They apportioned the high gravel ridge, separated from the tillable land by the gulley of Big Creek, as a burial ground.  As well as using it for their own family, they made burial sites available to other pioneer families.  It was known at that time as the "Smith Grave Yard".

Orford Township

Burch Cemetery

15850 Austin Line, Kent County almost at Clachen Road. In an effort to preserve the stones, they've been coated with a white substance in the past which is now peeling and flaking off making it impossible to read the gravestones. The one stone that is still legible has a large chip out of the surname which I am assuming is LONG, only because there were families of that name in the area. I find the mounted horseman emblem on this gravestone interesting because it's the first time I've seen it.

      Thomas LONG died 1863 Jas.

Keyes Cemetery

Along the edge of old #3 highway directly across from the Palmyra Cemetery driveway, Kent County, I photographed these four graves so badly time- worn it is impossible to read their inscriptions. One name could be Key or Kay. The gravemarkers are coated in a white substance that is now cracked and peeling off, perhaps in an attempt to preserve them. (Thanks for the information Joan Wilton!)

The four stones are actually listed by the Kent Branch OGS as the Keyes Cemetery, Lot 74, North Talbot Road, Orford Township, Kent County. There are 4 stones which were painted white by the time they were transcribed in 1978. The stones are said to have been moved closer to the road from where there graves, which were on a hill further back, still are located. (Thanks for the information Robert Neil!)

 

In memory of Anna, wife of Perley KEYES who died June 2, 1844 aged 45 years
Lorenzo, son of Lorenzo & Elizabeth KEYS who died Sep 16, 1849 aged  1yr 8 m. & 23 d
In memory of Lorenzo KEYES who died Aprill 11, 1847 aged 27 yrs 7 m &  10 d
Anna C, daughter of Lorenzo & Elizabeth KEYES who died Jan 11 1850 aged 4 yrs 5 m & 21 d

Mills Cemetery

 

Nathaniel Mills: David Mills' father. Mary (Guggerty) Mills: David's mother.  Her headstone is broken, but the bottom half must be a continuation of "Mary Mills, wife of Nathaniel Mills, Died Sept 23rd 1862, 62 years" (which matches the known information about Mary perfectly). The Honorable David Mills: Member of Canada's Parliament (1867-1896), Minister of the Interior (1876-1878), Minister of Justice & Attorney General (1897-1902), Leader of the Canadian Senate, and elected to the Supreme Court of Canada in 1902. He is also credited with defining the western boundary of Ontario. More info on David Mills can be found at:
