some Byrnside Cemetery Readings - Green Hill Cemetery, Union.
The late Martha Morton Akers, a Byrnside descendant, remembers when the row in which these graves appear extended clear across the rear of the cemetery, James and Isabella Alexander (now in Erskine plot) was in the row; and also James Burnside (Byrnside), Sr., and wife Isabella were buried here - the markers to their graves evidently of wood, as marker were hard to secure in our section in early days, have long ago worn away. There are certainly many sunken places here showing were graves surely are - then beyond this row were the Handley graves.
