Salvation Army Cemetery,
Serpentine Rd.,
Mt. Moriah
Bay of Islands
Bay of St. Georges

There is an old Salvation Army Cemetery in the woods on Serpentine Road in Mt Moriah, Bay of Islands. It is located near Sopers Crossing on the right hand side of the road behind some houses. It is mostly overgrown, but three headstones still remain:
SURNAME	GIVEN NAME	DIED	AGE	REMARKS
ELLSWORTH	Seth	May 27, 1915	27
STONE	Sarah Ellen	April 22, 1916	10	Daughter of George & Barbara Stone
WIGHT	Shirley Stella	Aug 16, 1924	1 Yr 10 Mos	Daughter of John G. & Harriett J. Wight
My great uncle, James HUNT, born 1913, told me the following today as regards this cemetery. The WIGHT child was from somewhere on the Northern Peninsula and did not belong to the Bay of Islands. Why she is buried there, he did not know. There is also a Mary WELSHMAN, wife of George WELSHMAN, buried there. She was first married to a CROCKER. Children of Eric and Wallace BUTT are also buried there. Linda Elkins-Schmitt
