Methodist Church Cemetery

East Quogue, Suffolk County, Long Island, New York

      The Cemetery is located behind the Methodist Church on the North side of Montauk Highway in the village or East Quogue, L.I.N.Y. The area now known as East Quogue was called Fourth Neck until 1852 when it was changed to Atlanticville. It was changed to East Quogue about 1895. The following data was copied in the summer of 1972. All stones were copied and some were very hard to decipher because of age. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who can offer any corrections or additions.
      The cemetery was probably started about the time the first church was built or about 1852. However, the oldest stone dates from 1841 (# 67). The most recent burial, according to the stones was in 1959 (# 130). Southampton Town took over the care of the cemetery in 1953. (Elbert N. Carter)
