Lat: 43°25'044"N, Lat: 079°44'021"W

Contributed by Scott Buschlen, Jul 25, 2003 [scott@buschlen.ca]. Total records = 20.

Cemetery is on North Service Rd between Bronte Rd / 3rd Line in Oakville Ontario.

This is a pioneer cemetery. Owned by the Town of Oakville. No new burials.

I walked and surveyed this cemetery, transcribing all existing and legible tombstones on Jul 25, 2003. Four stones were too weather worn to understand.
