ST.    JOHN   THE   BAPTIST  CHURCH  CEMETERY

Church Point

River Bourgeois, Richmond County, Nova Scotia

Transcription of Gravestones and Monuments

Jeanne Belford

This cemetery is on the south side of Route 104, directly behind the church.  It is in good condition and well maintained. The transcription was completed May 19, 2000. Mary of the original gravestones and markers no longer exist. The following is a transcription of the remaining, legible gravestones. Names of the individuals that appear on the same stones are single-spaced on the page. All the rest (those which are double-spaced) have their own markers. Husbands and wives and/or their children were not always buried together or even next to one another. In many cases, they were buried a short distance from one another.

May 2001 Supplement to the May 2000 Transcription:  Arthur Bouchard, River Bourgeois, is responsible for the care and record keeping of the St. John the Baptist Cemetery.  He has access to all the cemetery records and is pleased to provide information to 'fill in the gaps' caused by illegible gravestones, to correct entries too difficult to read initially and add additional information about the deceased which he found in the cemetery written record.  I am grateful to Mr. Bouchard for his assistance. Column Five has been added to this document to incorporate Mr. Bouchard's supplement to the original transcription. 

If you intend to print this document, set your printer to Landscape Mode to insure that you receive the entire content.
