BUNYAN'S COVE
Old United Church Cemetery
Bonavista Bay District
On my latest trip to Bunyan's Cove, NF, I recorded the remaining legible inscriptions on the
headstones
at the old cemetery of the United Church. There were many, many grave sites that did not
have a headstone
so I was unable to record them. The surnames that I have recorded are:
TUCKER-PHILLIPS-BURT-HARVEY- PENNEY-MILES-MYLES
WHITE-LITTLE-CHAULK-MARTIN-COLES-OLDFORD
