"Little Chapel in the Hills Cemetery: This cemetery lies next to the chapel and the whole is located on a hill overlooking the town. The cemetery is notable because of the high number of children's graves. The beautifully embellished gravestones and the tiny grave plots record the toll that the typhoid epidemic took at the turn of the century." (from NRHP form, pg. 7, (
