  1. Victoria: What is the name of the church? Saint Nicolas Egglington I believe

    Who was the church built in memory of? Mark Catley, he donated his land and helped move the church
    What evidence is there that the church is still in use? Everything is clean, there are still bibles, it's well-kept and no dust, there's some change in the dish
    What direction do the graves face? East
    What year did Mark Catley die? 1929
    Who was married to Mark Catley and how do you know? Eleanor Catley, because she was burried next to him
    Now study a marker in detail...
    What is the name on your marker? Colby James
    Date of death? Aug. 7, 2003
    Date of birth? Aug. 11, 1987
    How old was he? 16
    The oldest grave? McDougal I think, from 1911, so a year after the church was moved
    The oldest person in the cemetery? I think it was Isabel La Dobbie, who was 107
    The most recent grave? From 2013
    Why would a grave be unmarked? The person who owns the plot is still alive or the markings have faded, they could be not recognized by the church aswell
    How old is the oldest person in the cemetery? 107
