The first grave opened on this burying ground, was that of "little Johnny," who had seen the flowers of three summers - a child of William {{Surname|Lang}}, in 1830. It was the afternoon of the 2nd day of November, and the little boy, with meekened face and folded hands was placed above his lovely little tomb in the woods, and the light of the world shone upon him the last time forever! But, many a grave has since been gathered to that of little Johnny. Many of the early settlers who strove hand in hand, in subduing the wilderness, here are resting side by side; while the little church building, still shadowing fourth (''sic'') the sacredness of its ancient simplicity, seems though in silent reverence, to hold communion with the peace of their ashes! It is here that the aged Daniel {{Surname|Davidson}}, perhaps the latest of the Revolutionary heroes, lieth entombed.
