Welcome to the Arkell United Church Cemetery which has a long and interesting history. Charles Willoughby provided the land for the church and cemetery in 1838. The original log building was replaced by a white brick church in 1877. About 1919 the membership became so small that it was feared the church would have to be closed so some of the Presbyterians attending Church elsewhere felt this would be detrimental to the community so they united with the Methodists in establishing a Union Church giving Arkell the distinction of having one of the first United Churches in Ontario. In 1925 the church was renamed the Arkell United Church. The cemetery remained in use until at least 1938 and in 1981 all the markers were moved and cemented into the cairn near the centre of the cemetery.
This is a straight forward 2 stage multi (posted and final). The final is not located within the confines of the graveyard but can be found at N43 32.ABC W80 10.DEF. You must examine the collection of headstones in the cairn to determine the location of the final. A bit of arithmetic is involved in your efforts.
A: Tom W. Willoughby Apr. 28, 1849 + Sept. 28, 19A8 - third number in the year.
B: His wife Jane Starkey Jan. 1, 1853 + Sept B?, 1899 - first number in the day.
C: James C. Burgess, Aged 59 years. His son Charlie Died June 18, XXXX - digital root of the year.
D: Joseph, son of Thos. W & Mary A, Died Oct. 2 187D, 11 Mo & 9 days - last number in the year.
E: Mary Died Oct. 12, 1826 aged 7 months, Daughter of Thomas and Mary A. - Digital root of the last name.
