Now for one of the smallest cemeteries on this blog, we find the Rehoboth Cemetery. One monument, two names, and no information.
This site is located on the corner of Concession 3 and Providence Road in Clarington, Ontario. It's a cosy country road with some homes surrounding, but you won't miss the site easily.
Sadly, the lone stone is broken, and though I can read the first names I can't make out the last name with 100% confidence.
William, died May 22, 1877. Aged 71 years.
Mary, his wife, died Oct 19, 1874.
To my eyes, the last name appears to be Donnely/Donnley/Donelly. I can't find any information to back that up though. The footstone does have the initials M.D., so it's definitely a "D" last name.
I have seen this site listed as "Rehobeth" rather than Rehoboth, but as you can see from the first picture, the Rehoboth spelling is correct. I have no idea what that name means. It apparently used to be called Primitive Methodist Cemetery.
