(Old) Methodist Cemetery
Elliston

(Formerly Bird Island Cove)

A few years ago, I transcribed some of the headstones from the old Methodist Cemetery, Elliston (formerly Bird Island Cove - the name changed about 1903), Trinity Bay. Most of the graves are unmarked, many of the stones difficult to read: Selected entries: Elizabeth, wife of William Flinn Aug. 16, 1901, age 74 Arthur Clouter, died 1868, aged 11 years Maynard Clouter, died Aug. 4th 1887, aged 1 yr, 4 mos.
