C CEMETERIES The early settlers generally set aside a burial plot on their own land. In many cases churches had burial places next to the church. There are graves at Presquile Park but the headstones have gone and there is not trace of them to day. The United Empire Loyalist Cemetery behind the Covell property on Harbour Street contains a large number of graves. They include members of the George family dating back as far as 1829 and up to Elesha Stevens buried in 1863. Naval Commandor Captain Richardson of the HMCS Speedy, Captain Peter Covell and a large number of children who died of diptheria are also buried there. In 1979 only a few headstones remain in one part of this historic cemetery and is almost overgrown with weeds and shrubs and it is landlocked â€" and at the present time interested parties are endeavouring to save the sight and remaining headstones. MOUNT_HOPE CEMETERY In 1867 the village purchased 5 acres of land from the Singleton family â€" just off Highway # 30 out of Brighton â€" Mr. John Butler was the first person intered in this cemetery in 1867. In 1936 Mr. Hugh Bibby presented the cemetery board with a vault 12‘ x 15‘ x 9‘ â€" this is easily accessible in winter since it is beside the highway. Most of the tombstones were made in Brighton by Mr. T.R. Corby and Son. His business was on main street where the Public Library now is built. VANSICKLIN CEMETERY This cemetery was closed some years ago. The stones were collected and made into a Memorial Cairn and placed on the Corner of Baes Farm on Carrying Place Road.
