Harley Hill Cemetery was dedicated in 1899 and appears to have operated from 1901 to around 1920. However, there are several more recent graves of descendants of James and Robina Wilson who were buried here in the early years of the 20th century. The cemetery occupies quite a large site and was obviously expected to service the community for many years. Why this did not happen is not known. The site, long closed to burials, is wooded and, when surveyed in 2004, the memorials were somewhat overgrown and covered with tree litter.
Wayne Hill has contributed images he made of the inscriptions in September 2004. Wayne's images may be downloaded from the list of inscriptions for this cemetery. That list was compiled with reference to the NSW indices of births, deaths and marriages for additional information.
In October 1899 the Secretary for Lands had approved of the sum of £110 being granted to enclose and clear about 6 acres of the site at Harley Hill given some time ago by Dr Hay for a public cemetery for Berry.
