A short distance south of the village of Orangeville on the old Higgins farms lies this cemetery, on a high hill. It commands a beautiful view over Lost River Valley, near the true rise of the river. There are many unmarked graves many whose markers have crumbled, and the whole area is covered with a thick growth of periwinkle, briers and shrubs, so that it is impossible to decipher some of the inscriptions. These were copied on August 12,1937.

The following is a transcript of data recorded by the Lost River Chapter of the DAR in the 1940's and remains their property.  This page may be freely copied for your personal use but may not be reproduced in any public media without permission
