Headstone Data The cemetery at South Branch is located on a rise of land to the south of the where the railway station used to be. It is not known for sure when it was first used, but the villages of South Branch and Coal Brook were established around 1896-1898. Many of the old wooden crosses and markers are gone. Weather any of them could have yielded any information when I completed a transcription of the headstone data in August 1999 is not known. At that time the graveyard was found to be neat and tidy. Some of the older cement markers were quickly disintegrating and I suspect that in about 10-15 years they will be unreadable. However, the stone and marble markers seemed to be holding out very well. The following transcription was completed to preserve the information presently available on the markers.
