H. Clay BEATTY Post. No 73. G. A. R., Bristol. Methodist cemetery at Walnut and Pond Streets. The cemetery was relocated in 1951 to Bristol Cemetery. The Bristol Methodist Church was founded in 1788 following preaching of Captain Thomas Webb. He had been in the Bristol Army and lost his right eye in a battle against the French in Canada. This is the rear of the second building of the congregation. It was built in 1845 and used by the congregation until 1895 when a new building was erected at Mulberry and Cedar Street. An A&P supermarket replaced the cemetery. -

Bristol Cemetery, Bucks County, PA. Volume I: Tombstones, 1990
Note from the author, Hazel E. Lamon, April 15, 1990:
"This book is divided into two parts. The first part contains a short history of the Bristol Cemetery and includes tombstone inscriptions. The second is a brief history of the Bristol Methodist Graveyard and includes the Record of Removals in 1951.
The Plot Plan is not the original and can only be used in conjunction with this book.
Volume II will be completed at a later date.
I am grateful to Mr. Martin Lautz, Superintendent of the Bristol Cemetery for permission to record the tombstones, and to Mrs. Rita Smith who made the records available for verification.
My appreciation to the Reverend Kenneth E. Gelzhiser, Pastor of The First United Methodist Church for permission to copy the church record. For almost 40 years the cemetery record had been put away and forgotten until 1989. We are grateful to the then church secretary, Mrs. Betty Scheich for finding the record and making it available.
My sincere appreciation to all who have had a part in the preparation of this work." -

St. Marks Roman Catholic Church, Radcliffe Street, Bristol, Pennsylvania, Churchyard Cemetery, 1845
From the primary author, Hazel Lamon, February 29, 1996:
"This book is divided into two parts. The first part contains a short history of the St. Marks R.C. Church at Radcliffe Street, Bristol, Pennsylvania, taken from 'History of Bristol, Pennsylvania' by Doron Green - 1911. A history of St. Marks School is taken from 'History of Old Homes on Radcliffe Street, Bristol, Pa.' by Doron Green - 1938.
Many of the tombstones in the churchyard cemetery have been in the ground for one hundred and fifty years and some are illegible. They are a monument to those who came from Ireland in search of a better life and made their home here in America.
I have relied on the record for a list of those in unmarked graves.
The second part contains the St. Marks R.C. Cemetery on Bristol Pike, Pennsylvania. Ground was purchased on April 1, 1892 from the Bristol Cemetery Land Company, Inc. by the Rt. Rev. Patrick J. Ryan, Archbishop of Philadelphia.
See page #37 & etc. for details of the graveyard in part two of this book."
