In the churchyard is its cemetery, containing at least 131 interments, according to Find A Grave, who, strangely, failed to list Sophia Burns, Anna Burns, Catherine (Mitchell) Burns and John Burns, the four people buried under this headstone. Their headstone is just off the northeast corner of the church. The headstone was made as a broken column, we believe, for Sophia, as she died at the age of 38, while John lived to be 59, Catherine 62 and Anna 73.
John M(oore) Burns and Sophia would seem to be the children of John and Anna and Catherine the wife of John M.
