Cemetery Update - Fall 2010

A tremendous amount of work has occurred in the cemetery.   With the restoration work, a number of stones were uncovered (i.e. they had become buried over the years), and these stones were fixed and righted.  The cemetery is now in excellent shape, and receives a steady flow of visits on almost any day with good weather.

In the fall of 2010, a grant to restore the stone wall is being investigated.  The cemetery appears to be unique among known PEI cemeteries in that it is surrounded by a sandstone wall.  With the passage of time, the wall has become completely covered with soil and is now visible only as a mound.  Some excavation work has confirmed the use of large sand stones.  We hope to have this wall restored for 2011.
