Transcriptions of the memorial stones in this cemetery were recorded by Edna Armstrong (nee McLinton), Iris M. Neville (nee McLinton) and George A. Neville in 1974 and first published the same year. About the beginnings of Richmond, and St. Paul's Methodist church and cemetery:
No record appears to have survived which would serve to indicated where early burials would have been made following the settlement of Richmond in 1817 and the establishment of the Methodist Cemetery in 1882. The first recorded interment was made in 1875 [7 years before the formal establisment of the cemetery] for Robert T. Wright (B5). However, Leonard Brown, a long time resident of Richmond, maintains that the first burial was that of John GAMBLE (D12) who was killed on April 1, 1885, in a logging accident when the 'binder' in the logs broke."
