THIS IS MY DRAWING ABOVE (1999)
BUT BELOW ARE LINKS TO THE DATABASES SHOWING THOSE BURIED IN THESE CEMETERIES
1927 map below shows these locations better
EMMANUEL GRAVEYARD
SE 1/4 of Sec 12-Tp 1-Rge 7 West Second Meridian
(See map above #2)
Lutheran Cemetery, established in 1908
IS VIRTUALLY GONE (1999)
THERE IS ONLY HALF A DOZEN HEADSTONES VISIBLE
THE DRIFTING DIRT HAS JUST ABOUT COVERED UP ALL THE HEADSTONES
IT IS OVERGROWN WITH TREES AND GRASS, IT WAs LOADED WITH WOOD TICKS THAT SUMMER
(I KNOW THIS FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE!)
IT IS A FAIR WALK IN FROM THE N-S GRAVEL ROAD (1.5KM) UNLESS YOU HAVE A PICKUP WITH LOTS OF CLEARANCE
AS THE GRASS ISN'T CUT AND THE TRAIL IS NOT USED
FOREST GLEN GRAVEYARD
SW 1/4 of Sec 18- Tp 1- Rge 7 W2
(see map above #1)
IT IS NEXT TO THE PAVED ROAD (E/W) AND IS KEPT UP VERY NICELY
IT IS NEAR THE SCHLAPKOHL RESIDENCE ON THIS ROAD ABOUT 3 KM E. FROM HWY 47
Note- #3 is the old Brittania School
#4 is another Rural School (name unknown) until I read some history about it

TAYLORTON CEMETERY

NE1/4-Sec 33-Tp 1-Rge 6-W2
(red dot in above 1927 map)
was also used by some Roche Percee Residents
It is located South of the old town of Taylorton, and East of Roche Percee
It exists today in very good condition, thanks to the work of the local residents.
