Headstone Inscriptions

Blackhead - Old Historic United Church Cemetery (Partial)

Transcribed by Susan Snelgrove, August 2001 and August 2002. Approximately 3/4 of cemetery has been transcribed. Stones remaining are at the very back corner of the cemetery, probably more recent burials than front. Hopefully I will get this completed next summer. (?) follows a particular number in question. Note these stones are extremely difficult to read in many cases. Researchers should use this as a guide only, and confirm the source independently for accuracy
Headstone inscriptions were collected and compiled by SUSAN SNELGROVE, August 2001, 2002. While I have endeavored to be as correct as humanly possible, there may be typographical errors.
