Second Salisbury Baptist Cemetery
(Salisbury Parish, N.B.)
(contributed by Cleadie Barnett, CG(C))

    The Second Salisbury Baptist Church was located at what is locally known as Humphreys' Corner, the earliest trading center of consequence in the westerly end of Salisbury Parish, Westmoreland County. When a [way service] was established there about 1850, it was designated as Head of Petitcodiac.
    A Baptist Meetinghouse was built here in 1837 and was organized as the Second Salisbury Baptist Church in 1847. It continued as such until about 1882 or 1883, when it was taken down and the timbers used in the construction of a Baptist Church at Petitcodiac Village, and the name was changed to the Petitcodiac First Baptist Church.
    The trading center of Humphreys' Corner ceased to exist as such soon after the European and North American Railway began to function in August, 1860, when they established a station at Petitcodiac, which soon became the business center of the locality.
    Humphreys' Corner was about one and three quarters of a mile downstream from the present village of Petitcodiac.
    The site of Humphreys' Corner was on the easterly side of land granted to David Blakeney, in 1802, and the westerly side was land granted to Robert Scott and Jacob Wortman, in 1813. The land on which the burial ground is located, was contributed by James A.C. Price, and then owner of the western half of the grant to Robert Scott and Jacob Wortman.
    The following records were copied from the tombstones in this burial ground by J. E. Humphreys, in 1917.

(Note by J.E.H.: I think the last interment made in this cemetery was that of the remains of Ann, w/o William Hope 1817 - 1899. This cemetery is in an unkempt and abandoned condition, and has had no care for more than forty years.)
