History of the Macedonian Church of Elgin Cemetery


With Thanks to Bryan Prince



Author Bryan Prince mentions Quote "There was another small Baptist Church and cemetery in the 1850’s (Anti-Slavery Baptist Church called the Macedonian Church of Elgin) on southern part of lot 9 Concession 7 that has had the tombstones removed and is farmed over. My grandfather told me that the farmer used the stones to make a step for his granary. This was apparently on the corner of the 7th line and what is now called A.D. Shadd Road" End of Quote. It is always so terribly discouraging to hear stories such as this one. How someone takes these stone monuments, a part of our history and not even their own property, and then totally destroys them for such a reason.
