SHIRLAND. 



(Slual^er Cemetery at Uoab Ibole ^furnace. 



This spot lies about midway between the Peacock Hotel and 

 Hall Field Gate, and so snugly sequestred is it, that, unless pointed 

 out, but few travellers would discover its situation, the meeting 

 house being quite at one with an adjoining cottage and contiguous 

 buildings. No memorials mark the humble grave mounds, and 

 the Cemetery would not be recognized as such by a casual visitor. 

 No register is kept, and a few loose certificates in custody of the 

 chapel keeper are the only memoranda of the departed members 

 interred in the little grass plot close by. As there were only 

 sixteen of these at the time of my visit, the readers of the Journal 

 will pardon the Editor for preserving their names in a more 

 permanent manner.

(As these are merely certificates of registration of death by the 

 district registrar, it is probable the interment in each case took 

 place a day or two after the date on the certificate.)
