Herbert Lawton Memorial Advent Cemetery
East Hereford, Compton County, Quebec

Contributed by Leslie Nutbrown, Jun 08, 2006, last edited Jul 11, 2006 [lnutbrown@videotron.ca]. Total records = 68.

From Sawyerville take route 253 south and continue through East Clifton, Saint Malo and Saint Venant de Paquette to East Hereford. The cemetery is south of the town on Route 253 toward the U.S. border. Alternatively, if you are in Hereford, you can take Owen Road over Hereford Mountain to East Hereford.

This is a very attractive, well maintained cemetery situated in a beautiful part of the Eastern Townships. The cemetery has a fence, gate, sign and flower garden. It has been used since the 1870's and is still used today.

Susan Nutbrown and I walked and read this cemetery in June 2006 recording all tombstones.
