Urbex: ABANDONED HOUSE on a CEMETERY

The family of the original owners have so kindly provided me with information regarding the history regarding this abandoned house and property in which I explored:

William Eddie owned the property from 1785-1853 along with his wife, Elspet McDonald, from 1788-1855. They immigrated from Scotland along with their 6 children. The land the cemetery is on was once part of their homestead, and the first person buried there was William Eddie's brother-in-law, Alexander McBean (1784-1847). When William and Elspet passed away, their youngest son, James Eddie, inherited the property. James built the house around 1879. The house was eventually sold to the Simpson family (date unknown), hence, the mailbox with the surname "Simpson" found inside. Lee Simpson's widow left the homestead to her family after she passed away in 1985. Apparently, her family locked the doors and left it to rot. That being said, it's been left abandoned since and shamefully become a victim of vandals and thieves.

Thanks to another viewer for this additional information:
James Eddie (pronounced EE-die) was injured in an accident involving sheep shears. Blood poisoning set in and he lost a leg, so he wore a peg leg. Apparently, there are still indentations on the stairs from his peg leg. He passed away in 1892 and was buried in the cemetery there.

Thank you for watching! And thanks to the family and a local resident for providing me with this information. :)
