City International Cemetery
Forest City Road, Forest City, York Co, NB Recorded by Bill Boone |
| At
one time, both Forest City, NB and Forest City, Maine, had their own separate
burial sites. Likely because the "two" communities were in reality one
community staddling the international boundry it only made sense to combine
the two http://www.s94660560.onlinehome.us/cgwcem/NB/index.html. When this actually occurred is unknown, but likely
in the late 1800's or early 1900's.
At the entrance to the present day cemetery is a monument consisting of three granite grinding wheels salvaged from the old Grist Mill set on a concrete base with a plaque reading "In memory of Dr. Lyman A Lydic, 1978". Flags of both countries fly overhead. Over the years attempts have been made to document and record the burials without achieving any definitive list. Wallace (Wally) Hale came about as close as anyone with his publication of York County http://www.s94660560.onlinehome.us/cgwcem/NB/index.html in 1982. This page draws heavily on that work as well as including updated information done by myself (Bill Boone) on May 20, 2001. Although the exact number may never be known, there are many burials done beyond living memory for which there is no record or grave marker. For example, David PATTERSON is believed buried here but with the lapse of nearly 100 years, no one is left alive to remember. Some burials are recorded in various diaries kept by members of the community; a few ministers kept journals of funerals they conducted. But, generally, there is nothing in the way of a methodical recording of who, when or where. So, just because the name you are looking for isn't on the list, doesn't mean they aren't buried in Forest City. The italicized comments in square brackets are mine (Bill Boone) based on personal knowledge. |

| ELLIOTT | - Enclosed plot(s) with no further information. [Note: no one seems to know anything about this family other than a vague connection to the Markey's that once lived in Forest City. It is near a Markey gravesite and a Hamilton gravesite, but no known connection to the Hamilton's who came from Kentucky around 1904] | ||
