Totally disgusted with the Diocese and Cedar Cemetery and their care of our family! My family had three plots here and the cemetery sold one of them without our permission! My sister is one plot dying at birth and we had to bury my Mother and Father together. They now tell us that since we don't have three plots we can not put up a headstone only markers and only spoke of this policy when I was setting up delivery! May God see what you have done and care of you accordingly.

My aunt, Doris Fletcher Turville, owned several plots in Cedar Cemetery. She was laid to rest there in 1976. Her headstone was visible from the Jamestown Bridge when traveling west. A cousin used to glance at the grave as she traveled over the bridge. One day my cousin couldn’t spot our aunt’s headstone from the bridge. She went to the cemetery to investigate. It turns out the cemetery sold my aunt’s unused plots and removed her headstone! Disgraceful!nI put a one star rating because there’s no zero star option

The Magill family is interred here. They had a history with the island for around 100 years.nnAlso, Joseph Vandevender was laid to rest here, a casualty of the Vietnam War. (June 2, 1968)nnIn the picture from 1947 (l-r) is William, Blanche (Guenet), and children Ruth (Grunder) and Marion (Spadoni) Magill. High Street is behind them.nThey lived on Pleasant View Avenue which was named by by William's sister Mary (Wellwood).nnIn the 2nd picture, William inherited the house (built 1889) on the left from his father Joseph and William later bought the house (built 1898) on the right. There is also a ranch house, to the rear, that William owned that started out as a horse stable, then a very large workshop then converted into a rental house.nnThe famous 'one cannon' Eldred is here. He fired a cannon (with the help of whiskey and a horse or mule), moved it, fired again and repeated numerous times over along the east shore of the island. Fooled the Brits into thinking there was cannon battery along the shore which they, of course, never found. Hee, hee.nnJamestown was the summer home of Captain Kidd who was hanged in the Tower of London in England.nn(sorry the pictures are mixed up and there is no way to edit the order.
