When the congregation moved the church to a new location in 1779, the old building [North Mountain meeting house] fell into disuse and finally disappeared. People continued to use the burying ground, however, until the new cemetery was started at Bethel in 1806. And even after that, many were taken there to be buried beside the members of their family, but with the passing of the years it, too, ceased to be used. About thirty-five years ago, [1911] when the barn was repaired on the farm now owned by Mr. Peery, many of the gravestones were gathered up and put in the cement foundation about the barn, and so it is impossible to form a list of all who were buried there. In 1934 Dr. William A. Murphy copied the names and dates with the inscriptions, so far as they could be determined, from all the stones that remained.
