Blanchard Cemetery
Stanstead County, Quebec

To get to the Blanchard cemetery, from the village of Ways Mills, take Isabelle Road to Provencher Road. The cemetery is on Provencher Road on your left very near a farm house.

You will have to be observant as the tiny cemetery could be hidden from the road by field growth depending on the time of year. I stopped at the farm (French speaking family) and asked to go to the cemetery and there was no problem as it is only a short walk from the road.

This small family cemetery is one of several rural cemeteries in this county that is surrounded by a farm. The cemetery is maintained by the Barnston Heritage Cemetery Corporation.

I walked and read this cemetery in in May, 2006.
