Elizabethville Anglican Cemetery is located on County Rd 65 in the tiny town of Elizabethville. The cemetery is located just south of Hwy 9/Ganaraska Rd. It is located directly across the road from the Elizabethville Methodist Cemetery. If it wasn't for the sign, you'd never know this place is here.
The sign states that it was active 1855-1946, but most of the monuments are much older.
You enter the cemetery through the trees just to the right of the sign, and you have to walk through some low hanging branches. Watch out for spiders. The cemetery lawn is mowed, so I don't know why they don't cut these back. It is a fairly small plot, and it appears that the monuments have been moved because I can't imagine the people were buried in the shape of a cross.
