Testing. The snow is falling. Maybe it will clear tomorrow. Elaine.

Re: Place of burial

Just to give you an update.

I went to the cemetery and there was nothing there, I read something about 800 graves being cleared to make a recreational area so I'm assuming this is what has happened as it has nicely laid grass etc.

Re: Place of burial

Hi Richard,

It was mostly the Anglican area that was cleared of headstones. Many were used to make the foot paths. Remains were left in the ground.
