Find A Grave: Gunn Cemetery
Location
Gunn Cemetery, located on the former Gunn/Winans property, north side of Route 87 between Kenilworth & Route 46. This cemetery was copied in 1977, and is now nearly gone, located in a field and unattended.
From the will of Barnabas Churchill dated 27 Dec 1858:
"Item 2d. I devise and bequeath, for the purpose of a Burying Ground, for the use of my relatives and such of my neighbors who wish to use it - as such. A piece of land upon the north side of my lot No. 24 in Greene, and to extend three rods west, and three rods east, from a cherry tree, and an oak tree growing together, which trees are a few feet east of the graves of three of my grandchildren, and to extend south from Mr. John Sloan's line, two rods, making twelve rods of land."
