South Ely Baptist Cemetery
South Ely District, Shefford County, Quebec

Contributed by Joan Cruickshank, Oct 24, 2008, last edited Oct 10, 2012 [dean.cruickshank@sympatico.ca]. Total records = 187.

Out of Sherbrooke, Quebec, follow Route 55 North towards Richmond, Quebec. Take exit 85 for Melbourne, Quebec, and then travel South on Route 243 to Valcourt, Quebec. This cemetery is situated on the corner of Route 243, and the main road going down into Valcourt.

Dating back to about 1839, this cemetery is predominantly French today, but you will also find some of the early English settlers and their descendants resting within. The cemetery is surrounded by a steel fence with a gate at the entrance, is well maintained, and is still active.

I walked this cemetery on Sep 15, 2008 and transcribed from the stones to the best of my ability.
