Cemetery information:
Album complete, all the headstones in the cemetery were photographed.
Gail wishes to acknowledge the work of Valma Meier and Yvette Ferguson who transcribed these gravestones in 1993. Without their transcriptions she would have found it difficult to identify many of the graves.
We have tried to transcribe each gravestone, and have added information where necessary from their 1993 transcription.
