Rural communities have poorly defined boundaries. As a result, the area where the cemetery and church site is located has sometimes been considered part of Digdeguash, other times part of Elmsville, and still other times part of Johnson Settlement.
JOHNSTON SETTLEMENTThis rural cemetery is located on the right side of Route 760, 2.8 miles past covered bridge at Halls Corner going towards Route 1. This cemetery is the site of a former Methodist church and has recently been restored.
