[Note by typist: All data recorded below may not actually be on the stone. These appears to be notations added to some entries. There also seems to be two list - one numbered & one not. They are combined below, but may be two small cemeteries from the one area.]

This is a small cemetery, off Henderson Road, about 1/4 mil from home of Mr. Martin (not far from road to Shannon). It is on side of a gravel pit owned by Lawrence McCrea. It is only after ones passes these 4 or 5 stones than one notices that there is a gravel pit on the other side of the little slope.

This cemetery is owned by [___] Henderson. One of them married Wm. Cruikshank.

Note - the name WRATH was seen as RATH in P.E.I - probably German. Mr. McCay died on Henderson lease, so they buried him. McCays were formerly McCoys.
