There is the peaceful sound of running water near by, known as the Timothy Rushton brook, which drains into the River Philip. The cemetery had no known real name, some called it the Kolbec Cemetery, others called it the Little Cemetery, and many called it the Rushton Cemetery. So Mr. Miller gave it the name of the Little Rushton Cemetery in 1997. In 1985 Mr. Marsh and Mr. Bird put the property up for sale. I know Cumberland County is a darn small place, but there must be land enough to build a house on without using a cemetery to build in.
Cemeteries are for the dead to rest.
Over half of it has been used now as building lot. Please leave the rest alone. Wife of one of the dead. From what we have learned from Mrs. Frances Rushton and some of her children. The cemetery was much larger and went to the river edge in the early days.
