Hatchet Cove - Old Methodist Cemetery

Hatchet Cove is a small fishing community just South of Random Island in Trinity Bay, Newfoundland. It was first settled around the 1850's. The community, though small, has families who are typically one of two religions - Anglican or United Church of Canada. There are four small cemeteries found within this community. Attached is a diagram of the community with the cemeteries marked with an X.
The NEW UNITED CHURCH cemetery is located in the center of the community, towards the western side of the hill. It is well cared for and most of the graves have headstones that are in excellent to good condition. The traditional family plots appear to be maintained.
The headstones were read, recorded and transcribed by FRANK KING, May 1999. While I have endeavored to be as correct as humanly possible, there may be typographical errors.
