Kilburn Cemetery
Barnston, Stanstead County, Quebec

From Barnston take Route 141 toward Ayers Cliff. Watch for either Madore or Wheeler Roads on your left. Either will get you to the cemetery which is actually off Wheeler Road near the junction of Madore and Wheeler.

This cemetery has no known name at this time and is way down in the field a long way from Wheeler Road. It was probably a community cemetery when it started and never named. The Barnston Heritage Corporation calls it the Hanson Howe Kilburn Cemetery.

There is no access to it unless you get permission from local farmers. If you decide to visit this cemetery you should go in spring or fall when you will not be a problem crossing the crop fields.

I was able to drive right to the cemetery through neighbouring farmland as permitted by the owner since it was early in May. Otherwise it is a half mile walk from the road, and is completey surrounded by farmland.

This old cemetery is being restored by the Barnston Heritage Cemetery Corporation. I saw evidence of some stone repair but it is still treacherous walking in there as there are several woodchuck holes and uneven ground and broken stones. The earliest headstone appears to be 1839 and the latest is 1890. Some stones are illegible.

I walked and read this cemetery and did a complete recording of all existing and legible headstones in May of 2006.
