To reach this cemetery, begin from the intersection of Hwy 53 and Hwy
24, there are traffic lights there, west of Brantford, travel south on
Hwy 24, through Brant County. Continue into Norfolk County, several kilometres,
watch for a road sign on your right, indicating Norfolk Rd 19 West, Vanessa,
turn right on to Norfolk Rd 19 West, travel for approximately 13 kilometres,
you will come to a stop sign. Turn left there because Norfolk Rd 19 goes
south a short distance and then curves back to the west where you will
be able to see Bookton Cemetery on the south side of Norfolk Rd 19.
This cemetery is active and continues to accept burials. It
has considerable room for expansion. It is actually divided in two areas,
one being the older original burial ground, then a newer area where burials
are now taking place. Bookton Lane, a narrow country lane, separates the
two areas. The cemetery is very well maintained and is under the jurisdiction
of the Bookton Cemetery Board.
I walked this cemetery in Aug of 2006, reading and recording each tombstone
and or grave marker that could be read in order to complete the transcription
process.
