Belfry Cemetery Photos & History

Back to Pioneer/Historic Cemeteries

Also known as Robinson’s Cemetery, it was the first one used by the people of Bradford and was acquired by the Methodist Episcopal Church in November 1829. It was located at the corner of the farm that became the Ira Belfry homestead in 1830. Some of the remains were moved to Mount Pleasant Cemetery, although a number of monuments can still be seen through the overgrowth of trees in the area.
