the most beautiful little cemetery is on my new running route. i did some research on its history and learned that the complete records of who is buried here were destroyed in a fire but the last burial took place in 1975.
the local museum's website had this to say:
"Cemetery Road was established in 1907 with its starting point on Davidson Road and proceeding south to a dead end."
i also learned these facts:
- according to the plot plan, the number of graves is 33
- the lot number at the time it was converted to a graveyard was East half, Lot 66, Plan 444
- the cost of having the land surveyed, marked and pegged was $44.00
- the cost of logging and brush burning was $77.00
Very cool Karin!
