  Ye Olde Cemetery, established in 1740 when Hawke (Danville) was still part of Kingston, where the last known burial was in 1882. The Reverend John Page, gaining prominence for his selfless dedication to his congregation during the Tuckertown epidemic, which took his life as well, is the most prominent of Danville’s forefathers buried here. No one has been able to ascertain how many lives were actually lost in the epidemic, although many unmarked rocks, lined up in family plots beside engraved stones in Ye Old Cemetery seem to indicate the graves of children. There are also several Revolutionary officers & soldiers resting here as well. Beautifully preserved in the natural surroundings that date back to its inception, and these gates were added in 1991 with a donation from Thomas Waters of the local Iron Wheel Inc. in Danville.
