Directions: From Sherbrooke (Lennoxville), take Route 108 East towards Cookshire. After a few miles turn right on Route 251 to the village of Johnville. Drive east through the town on Jordan Hill Road and the cemetery is on your left just at the edge of town, adjacent to the Johnville Protestant Cemetery.

Background: This Catholic cemetery (Our Lady of Peace) is the resting place of mostly French Canadians who lived in the surrounding area. The area was first settled by English Protestants and it wasn't until later that French Canadians began moving into the area so this cemetery was established about one hundred years after the Johnville Cemetery. The cemetery is well maintained and active. It has a fence, sign and gate.
