The Turnbull familycame to the area in 1836 and settled at what was to become known as Turnbull's Corners, later West Essa. Early on, they donated land for building the Methodist Church. At first, the church was part of the Cookstown Circuit. The West Essa Circuit was formed in 1879 but by 1889, the church was closed. The building was torn down in the early 1900's and the cemetery became overgrown. In 1971, the Cemetery Committee of Essa Council cleaned up the lot, gathered the old stones together, set them in concrete with a plaque commemorating the pioneer families, and enclosed them with a steel fence.
Directions: 60 m west of Scotch Line, North Side
