Clark's Cemetery

Clark's Cemetery is located near Seymour Ontario. It's even nearer to Codrington, in fact, it's in Codrington, but maps are stupid. Don't try to find anything out about this place, for no info seems to exist anywhere! And what you find may not be correct, because there are many Clark Cemetery/Clarke Cemetery/Clark Burying Ground Cemetery-ies out there! Here's assuming the land either belonged to a family named Clark, or that it is because there are a whole lot of Clark's who are buried here. Those tend to be the reasons behind cemetery names, right? Frustrating!

This is the view from the front. It's a fairly large lot with a few graves, as you can see. It is fenced and is being maintained nicely. There is not much to see from the road, just a tiny street sign like sign with the words Clark Cemetery in red letters. Note: wear bug spray. I got eaten alive by the flies.

 This is strange. It's not uncommon to see the dates of death not on the stone if the person is still living, but these two would be 170 ish years old. I wonder what happened, and if they are buried here?
