To reach this cemetery, begin at Brantford, King George Road which
becomes Highway #24. Travel north a few kilometres to the junction
of Highway # 99, a.k.a. Govenors Road. There are traffic lights
there. Turn right on to Highway #99 and travel east for several
kilometres to the village of Lynden. At the all way stop, turn left
on to Lynden Road and travel north for several kilometres to Highway
# 8.
Turn right on to Highway # 8 and travel east a few kilometres.
Watch for a road sign indicating Kirkwall Road where you will make
a left turn. Travel north on Kirkwall Road a few kilometres and
you will come to the village of Kirkwall. The cemetery and the church
are on your left.
This cemetery is active and it is very well maintained.
It is under the jurisdiction of the Kirkwall Presbyterian Church
Cemetery Board.
I walked this cemetery in June, 2010, reading and recording
the inscription from each monument or grave marker that I was
able to read. There are a few older stones that I was unable to
read as they are in very poor condition.
