History
This cemetery is associated with the St Paul’s Church, now demolished which was located on this site. It served as an Independent Lutheran Church from 1863 to 1949, and as a Methodist Church from 1949 to 1975. Its existence is marked by a stone cairn at the entrance to the cemetery on Two Wells Road.
The Cemetery retains a number of graves dating from the 1870s mostly white marble headstones, obelisks and crosses. There is one early slate headstone from 1870 and a number of children’s graves. Many of the headstones are inscribed in German. The cemetery contains the grave of Pastor Julius Roediger, of nearby ‘Riverside’ who died in 1897, and after whom the Roediger Memorial Methodist Church was named. There is no evidence now of the Church. The most recent grave in the cemetery is also a member of the Roediger family who died in 1935.
