This was the site of the Upper Wicklow Baptist Church. The church sat approximately where the cemetery sign is today and that is why there is a gap between the two sides of the cemetery. The graveyard is very close to the Beechwood Hydro Electric Dam and there is oral history that several bodies were re-interred here before the flooding of the headpond.

There are several names that have been used to describe this cemetery. The two most common in 2020 are Pomphrey Cemetery and Upper Wicklow Cemetery. Other older variations to be aware of are Wicklow, Baptist, and Clearview cemeteries. The Clearview variation can be easily confused with the St. Bartholomew Catholic Cemetery, which was also commonly referred to as Clearview. The best suggestion for older references is to consult census records to identify religion. It would be incredibly rare for a Catholic or a Baptist not to be interred in their own cemetery in the 19th and early 20th century.
