This little cairn is located on Stewart Line, between the towns of Cavan and Bethany. Stewart Road is a back road, and it is crazy fun to drive...hills!
I can't actually find any info about this cemetery, or what it's actual name is. But it's clearly a settler cemetery for the original families in the Cavan/Bethany area. Anyone with more info, please drop me a line!
John Thompson 1854-1899
Margaret E. Jacobs, his wife, 1864-1931.

The rest of the monuments are in such a bad state that they either can't be read, or they are broken into several pieces.
The property is rather large, and then there is this little speck in the corner. Like so many of these cemeteries, I have to wonder where the people were originally buried, and exactly how many people there were.
