Charles and Arlene Newbold along with Nan Black got the project started. Mr. Newbold was a building trades teacher with the Dept of Corrections at Yardville. His students cut the timbers from the Phillips farm nearby and took them to Bill Croshaw's sawmill . The preliminary construction was done by Mr. Newbold's students. Mr. Newbold has family members dating back to the late 1600's in the Cemetery
