Tombstone records of the Great Valley Baptist Church (continued)
Page 40
Twenty-five years ago, as a matter of historical record, the
Tredyffrin-Easttown History Club began to list and publish the
information found on the tombstones of the cemeteries in this
vicinity. These records are data of primary importance for future
historians, genealogists, and other researchers. Volunteer groups
of members of the Club visited the cemeteries and copied the inscription
on every tombstone. The names with the accompanying information
and epitaphs were then arranged in alphabetic order,
typed, and published. The records of the Valley Friends cemetery
were printed first. Then the publication of the large list of
the Great Valley Baptist cemetery was begun, and four parts of
it were published in Volumes V and VI; 1942 and 1943. This took
up to the ubiquitous Welsh name Jones, and only about half of
these. For several issues of the Quarterly there was room for
no more graveyard records, and when another installment was
planned the alphabetized typescript could not be found. The records
of the Old Salem Church were published instead. After having
been lost for twenty years the Great Valley Baptist list has
turned up, and we continue these basic records herewith.
