  1. Old Graveyard

    Share Share Post
    Not far from our house in Cannos land there is supposed to be an old graveyard. Long ago this graveyard was used for burying young children that died when born. All the children that died at Cannons, and at the neighbouring houses were buried there. There are still some small pointed stones jutting up out of the ground, and these stones are supposed to be the headstones of the little children.
