Out Around the Bay..Three Arms & Southern Arm

Hello! I am a grade 12 student at Gonzaga High School in St.John's, and I have a few questions pertaining to Three Arms Island. See, myself and my theatre class wrote a musical last year, called "A Call to Arms", about the Norris family of Three Arms Island. We grew very attached to the story and went on the trip to the island last summer for 2 days. What I am wondering, is how you got all the names from the headstones on the island. We were only able to find 2 cemetarys (one by the Stephen Norris memorial and another deep in the woods shown to us by a local from Harry's Harbour. It has the grave of Emma Knight there.). I am wondering where the locations of the other cemetarys are, since we plan on returning next summer. All the characters in our musical are real names, such as Mary, James, and Stephen Norris, Abraham Rideout, Emma Knight, and Martha Shearing. We would love to visit these graves as well. I am not sure if you have a map of the island, or how you found the cemetarys, but if you could give me some informartion about it, that would be great. Also, if you live in St.John's, and I am not sure if this would interest you, but the musical has been remounted due to popular demand, and will be put off on May 13th and 14th at the Reid Theatre. Tickets can be picked up at the Arts and Culture Box Office here in St.John's. I'm sure you would enjoy it, since it is the true story of the island, and is very informative and moving. Please feel free to email me at n_burry@hotmail.com Thank you very much in advance! -Nick
