Purbrook, Draper Township, Muskoka District, Ontario

Contributed by Carol Fraser, Feb 25, 2006, last edited Jul 25, 2006 [pfraser@csolve.net]. Total records = 25.

To reach cemetery take Hwy 11 from the south, to Cedar Lane ramp Bracebridge, follow Cedar Lane to Fraserburg Rd. Turn right and head east to Purbook sign, then south. The cemetery is located on the right hand side about 3.5 km south of Fraserburg Road.

All of the Draper Township Cemeteries are now taken care of by the Town of Bracebridge, 1000 Taylor Court, Bracebridge On. 705-645-5264

This cemetery hasn't been used in years. Stones are old and hard to read.

I completed this transcription in Apr 2005.
