As you all probably know the Merritts and Slipps inter-married but this cemetery was always located on Merritt land not Slipp land. The Merritt house, a large white two story located to the left of the small bungalow beside the cemetery was owned last by Benjamin Merritt who died in 1981 as left to Batemans as he had no children. The Merritt house was passed generation to generation. I have plot maps showing who owned these properties. The first Leonard Slipp owned a plot about 3 minutes from this cemetery which is still owned by a Slipp descendant.
