*this darling little grave stone of
Sarah Leeming who died, April 13, 1911,
has weathered the elements for many years,
but has lost part of it's battle with the top
cross being broken. So it sits patiently
awaiting repairs. But when?

*these stones were all found lying stacked
on top of one another under the soil.
Paul Thorpe and another volunteer, dug them
out and worked to stand all of them upright.
*standing upright helps to protect from some of
the elements of mother nature, such as water freezing
and cracking them, and natural debris lying and destroying them.
*these can be found next to the large flat grave
marker of Abraham D. Shadd in Old M.L. Ward A
