Old Camden Cemetery, Additional














|Home  | Cemeteries |





Taken from the files of Mrs. Audrey Gilbert,
transcribed by Nancy Hannah.
 
These are offered for your consideration as a guide, as records for this time are scarce.
















It is believed the first cemetery at what is now Camden is 
covered by part of the village. The next was on the hill west 
of town off of what is now Route 725. This cemetery was 
begun about 1820 and it is probable that most of the people 
who died in the village after that date were buried on the hill.
 The new cemetery was started in the early 1870's and some 
of the bodies from the old were moved to the new.
There is not a good record of who was buried on the hill, but 
we do have these names copied from the stones that were 
left at the time, but the exact date is unknown.
Reeves  David  d. 1849, aged 52 years 4 months 2 days. 
Reeves  Ann  w/o David, d. 1849, aged 53 years, 4 months and 20 days. 
(It is possible they both died during the cholera epidemic 
since the item says they died within a few days of one 
another but doesn't list a date.)
