Since the western cemetery was marked on the 1944 map as relocated and the eastern was not it is probably safe to assume that the western cemetery is "Thompson" and had its burials moved to Butterwood and that the eastern cemetery (Burnett) burials were left alone. Godburn lists 16 Unknown individuals as being relocated from this cemetery to Butterwood (Godburn 1977: G-9). The exact location of this former cemetery had not been identified at the time of this survey."
