An Old Forgotten Graveyard
.
It Lies In A Clump Of Brush On The Farm of Mr. Dyer Gum In a clump of
brush and surrounded by a few trees there is an old graveyard near
Lucketts, on the western part of the farm now owned by Dyer Gum. This
graveyard is perhaps one of the oldest in this county judging by the
inscriptions on the few remaining tombstones, which were made out of
branch rock slabs and rudely carved. This burying spot was the graveyard
of the Oxley family, a family now extinct in this county so far as we can
learn, for on the remaining stones we find these inscription:
Henry Oxley, Born 1699, Died 1777;
Catherine Oxley, Born, Sept. 14, 1743, died July-1780;
Violet Oxley, Born, March 24, 1730, Died May 22, 1774;
R. Oxley, Aged 52, died 1771.
.
These graves now lie close beside a new-cut road leading to Stumptown by
a parallel route to the Point of Rocks roads, and it would be interesting
to know something of the history of these early settlers.
