 ****:   At some point in time, the sandstone plaque was brought back to the cemetery and laid behind the caretaker's building.  It was found broken into two pieces, whether from the fire or other reason is unknown.  There were no signs of damage or marks from being in the fire.  To date, the cannon, cannonballs, and church bell are unaccounted for. 

 ****    It is not known why a gravestone was used for the church’s plaque.  This burial cannot be confirmed if it was even in this cemetery, whether the stone bears a mistake, if the grave location was lost, or some other reason.  It is not reasonable to suggest that the United Brethren would just simply pull up a stone for this use.  The only names found in the county that could be of relation is a grave marked in the Miltonville Cemetery, Rene Andrew Lucie, of Trenton, male, died 2/54/1961, age 70 yrs. and Alfred Luce of the Oxford Masonic Lodge, who served as an officer from 1844-1845 and 1847-1865.
