Cemetery History

The approval for the land of Motu Cemetery was announced on the 6th of December 1906. There were no burial records until 1920, which were considered to be incomplete when the cemetery was transcribed in 1983 by Ronald and Denise Hermon from the Gisborne Genealogist Group. The oldest headstone recorded in 1983 was for Walter Fisher who died in September 1909.
