This cemetery is under the supervision of Haldimand County, Caledonia,
Ontario. It is active with considerable space for new burials.
The cemetery is nicely maintained. Many years ago, Spruce trees
were planted around the border of the original cemetery. Many
of these trees have died from age and disease and were rather
unsightly. When I was conducting the transcription, the dead trees
and the stumps were cut and removed. This has given the cemetery
a much nicer appearance.
While working on the transcribing, I noticed several monuments
in a pile beside a shed at the northwest boundary of the cemetery.
I was able to read some of these stones and they are recorded
here. Each one is shown with an (*) at the end of the individual
record. I was only able to get partial information from some of
the stones. Others, I could not read.
I walked this cemetery in May and June, 2011, reading and recording
the information that I needed from each monument or grave marker
that could be read, in order to complete the transcription. process.
A few old and broken stones are unreadable.
