Cemetery History
When Quebec's historic counties were abolished this area of Wolfe County became part of the M.R.C. of Le-Haut St-François.
This Catholic parish was founded in 1852. There was another burial ground before this one near the church and the remains of those interred there were brought to this cemetery in 1858. The official church records began in 1863. The cemetery is large and sprawling on sloped land. It is well maintained.
