Church of England Burial Ground, St. John - On the right of the road leading from the entrance on the Westmorland road are a number of graves. A few have headstones, but a great many are unmarked. The 60th Royal Rifles and G. Battery, Royal Artillery were particular to place above their departed comrades the mute but humble testimony of a soldier's love. The first epitaph, cut on a freestone slab, is as follows: In memory of / G. DANBY / Aged 31 years / and / G.H. HAWKER / who died Feb. 12, 1869 / Aged 20 years / Erected by the W.C. officers and men of H. Company / 4th Batt., 60 Royal Rifles. A few steps farther on, lying flat on the ground, is a broken marble headstone: In memory of / John SHUM / 4th Battn. 60th Rifles / Died / 26th Dec. 1868 / Aged 51 years / Erected by his comrades. A few paces from these, in the next row of graves, side by side, lie four members of G. Battery, Royal Artillery. A neat marble monument, cut in the shape of a cross, bears the following inscription: Sacred / To the memory of / Driver Alfred SUTTON / Wheeler George BRADFORD / Gunner James WARD / Gunner Cromwell LAFORD / All of G Battery, 4th Brigade Royal Artillery / who died / at St. John, N.B. / A.D. 1867 and 1868 / Erected by the officer, N.C. officers and men of the / Battery. In the very centre and most neglected part of the graveyard is the broken tomb of Lieutenant / Alexander THISTLEWAYTE / 38th Regiment / son of / Thomas THISTLEWAYTE, Esq. / of Southwick Park, Hants / England / Died at St. John, N.B., November 30th / 1841 / Aged 26 years and 6 months. A little to the right of this delapidated stone, standing together, two headstones mark the last resting place of two officers of the Royal Artillery. The first reads as follows: Sacred / To the memory of / Capt. Henry STANWAY / of the Royal Artillery / who died at Saint John, N.B. / on the 28th of July 1846 / Aged 54 years. The next headstone, which needs also to be placed in a more erect position, bears the following inscription: Sacred / To the memory of / William Henry FORBES / Captain Royal Regt. of Artillery / who departed this life / 1st September 1851 / After a short illness sincerely / regretted by his friends / This stone is erected / by / his sorrowing father / Major General FORBES, R.A. In the northeast corner, on the top of a knoll that over looks the waters of Courtenay Bay, and only a short distance above the spot where so many victims of the cholera scourge were placed during the summer of 1854, the grave of Sgt. Ferguson was pointed out by one of his old comrades of the 15th. The headstone had fallen down and weeds and brambles covered and almost obliterated all marks of the grave; but raising the marble slab we read the following inscription: In memory of / Sergeant / William FERGUSON / 1st Battn. 15th Regt. / Died 20th Nov. 1862 / Aged 36 years / Erected / as a token of respect / by his brother Sergeants. At the southwest end of the graveyard, only a few yards from the main avenue, stands a large square freestone monument with the top broken off, and the sides showing the effects of numberless storms which have beat upon it during the half century it has stood there to mark the resting place of a gallant soldier. But the inscription which follows is still unimpaired: Sacred / to the memory of / Richard KELLY / Esquire / second son of / John KELLY / of / Strancalley Castle, Co. Waterford / Esquire / And late captain in His Majesty's service / Departed thi life / the 1st of November 1835 / Aged 33 years. Close to this monument and lying flat on the ground, partially covered with earth and overgrown with grass, is an old handstone on which is cut the following epitaph: In memory of / Asst. Surgeon HAMILTON / 13th Light Infantry / Died 21st December, 1836 / Aged 30 years.
