Old Huntington was largely replaced by Huntington Rural about 1860 or so.
The number of burials trails off, especially by the 1880's and more or less
ceases by 1900. Only a very few burials have taken place since 1900; mostly
members of a few old line Huntington families, going into family plots.
Only one person has been buried since the 1930's & that was in the 1950's &
may have been a cremation burial.

There are no Normans listed for Old Huntington Cemetery. Not surprising,
since it is not a old Huntington name. Perhaps your ancestors were buried
at Huntington Rural Cemetery?
