Long before 1941 the Hunter Street Burial Ground attached to the old Meeting house had fallen into disuse. In 1854 was closed as a health hazard. The Quakers acquired more land to open a new burial place. They moved the remains from an old cemetery to the new one. In October 1861 the new burial ground was declared ready for use and no further interments were made at Hunter Street. There were no standing grave stones - only a few laid flat. The new cemtery was permitted to have a single style of Grave Stone giving only the name of the deceased, his or her age and the date of death.
The graveyard became filled to capacity and fewer and fewer interments took place there, the last as far as is known, in 1961.
