Trull Cemetery

Trull Cemetery is located in Courtice, on Baseline road, just off the 401. It's an abandoned cemetery, but well maintained. The Trull family were one of the first settlers in Courtice, and Lydia Trull  was a medicine woman on horseback travelling from Toronto to Cobourg, and there is even a school named after her in Courtice. She was just like Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman, I'm assuming without ever having watched that show!

I believe there are at least 2 more names on this monument, but I can't make them out, The pink stone does not photograph well, the inscriptions are almost always difficult to read.

What a neat little place, right? I don't think I've seen too many cemeteries that have this many family members, and anyone without the Trull name seems to be linked by marriage anyway!  Also, other that Hall, the other last names were Bowman and Courtice. This cemetery is located in Courtice, near Bowmanville...coincidence? I think not!

Pengelley's Cemetery

Pengelley's Cemetery is located at 69 Scriven Road in Bailieboro, just around the boundary line of Peterborough and Port Hope. Pengelley's is the final resting place of Joseph Scriven, whom I posted about in this blog post. You can easily spot the cemetery because there is a heritage plaque in front of the lot.
This is a beautiful little area with a great view, there is something about this place that makes me feel happy everytime I visit. Also, for some reason every time I visit my camera or phone runs out of batteries. It happened this time too, but luckily I had several spares this time.
 This is the view from the road, the bushes are a little overgrown right now, but clearly, someone has started pruning them back and cleaning up the property.

And the cute little entrance gate with its pretty purple wreath.
This little, abandoned building sits off to the side of the property. It is empty, and I don't know who it originally belonged to.

 Isaac Brock Pengelley, April 16 1882-June 7 1972. And his wife Katharine F.
James Sackville, 1843-1917.
 Lieut. O.P. Pengelley, 8th son of Theodore Robert Pengelley and Fanny Swann. April 22 1887-Dec 15, 1981. And his sister Rita, Sept 24 1891-Oct 6, 1986.
 Frederick Hardy Pengelley, Dec 2, 1872-Oct 15, 1962. South African Mounted Troops & WW1 Veteran.
 Theodore Robert Pengelley, Sept 4, 1840-Aug 11, 1925.
Fanny Swann, wife of Theodore Pengelley, 1847-1922.
076046 Sgt. C. Aubrey Pengelley. Died of his wounds in Belguim, July 14, 1917, in his 33rd year. Buried at Coxyde Cemetery.
Rt. Rev. Arthur L. Pengelley, 1879-1922. Buried at Greenwood Cemetery, Philadelphia, Penn.
 James S. Pengelley, 1875-1949, and his wife M. Audrey Winton, 1800-1972
 Sharon Audrey Northey, 1958-1969. Daughter of Mel and Pauline. This monument has been moved from its original location, I believe.

James Melvin Northey, Feb 9, 1963-July 4, 1984.
Frederick Paul Northey, Sept 4, 1965-July 4, 1984. Sons of Pauline and Melvin.
 This is the footer for the two Northey boys.
 Melvin E. Northey, 1925-2005. M. Pauline Pengelley, 1929-2015. Sharon Audrey is also listed on their monument, though she has her own monument here too (shown above).
 Michael Blick Pengelley, 1927-1998. Sally Jane Pengelley, born 1933 and still with us.In the center is a little black and white cat statue.
 A close up on the little cat statue.
 One of the earlier gravestones here, and one of the few in poor condition. Maria A. Buscall. Died 1846.
 Mary Black, died Jan 15, 1860? Aged 64 years.
 Eliza Catherine, Daughter of Andrew Rochern. Died Aug 6, 1860. Aged 23 years.

 Capt. R.L. Pengelley, Royal Navy. 1798-1875.
 His wife Harriet Brock, 1812-1836.
His wife Lydia Roche, 1811-1890
And the largest monument in the yard is that dedicated to Joseph Scriven, which was erected by his fanclub. I don't know what happened to his original monument.


 This is a small stone with Scrivens name on it,

 ...and his wife, I believe. These look like markers, but not official headstones.

 At the back corner of the yard is this lovely little bench,  "In Memory of Pauline Pengelley and Melvin Northey, Married Sept 15, 1951. Rest and Visit a While". You should, the view is lovely.
