Geocache Description:

Restin in St James

GEOCACHERS NOTE CEMETERY MANAGEMENT REQUESTS NO VISITS AFTER DARK.


Over 150 years of history resting here. Please be courteous during your visit and respectful of those resting below. St. James Cemetery is a church cemetery, created for the members and adherents of this congregation. In January 1853, plans were made to fence a plot of land for a cemetery, the fence being 52 rods in length, made of wooden pickets with 2 gates. In 1864, a brick church was built in front of the old one, which was then used for Sabbath School and prayer meetings. In the fall of 1905, the Methodist Church buildings were destroyed by fire but by November 1906 the present edifice was officially opened on property opposite to the cemetery. About 6 meters from the cairn are the first known burials, those of Sarah Gimby who died Aug. 30,1842 at age 11 and her sister, Rebecca who died on Oct. 6, 1847 at age 3. The logbook container is small so bring own writing instrument. .
