• Notes

  Land for a graveyard near Crosshill was provided by Elisha Rush in 1851. Soon, the farmer/carpenter was overseeing the erection of a small Wesleyan Methodist Church beside the burial ground but the congregation lasted only until 1889. However, unlike Frost's graveyard, Rushes Cemetery is still in use today at 1915 Hutchison Road, one kilometre south of Streicher Line between Crosshill and Wellesley. The sign calls it Rushes Cemetery but other documentation refers to Rush's or Rush. Why the plural caught on instead of the possessive is perplexing.
