HERE LYETH THE 
BODY OF JOSEPH ARB 
UEKLE WHO DEPA 
RTED THIS LIFE 
JANRY 2 1781 AGED 
54 YEARS

Following the death of Crawford Arbuckle on 6 April 1995, a descendant of the above Joseph Arbuckle, a new headstone was erected and this old one was placed at the foot of the new headstone.

---

In the 1930s this headstone was erected by the children of John James & Annie Mary [Minnie] (Fulton) Donaghy. By the 1990s the headstone had fallen and was found buried under the grass & a new headstone was erected, with the original headstone placed on the top of the grave. At that time it was known their eldest child had died in 1903, so his name was also added to the headstone.

 

Other members of the Donaghy family who are probably buried in this grave.
