Cimetière de la Paroisse Ste-Martine (Vieux/Old)

The "old" Ste-Martine Parish Cemetery dates from the mid 1800s and is still active. It is located at the side of the parish church and behind the presbytery on Rue St-Joseph (Rte 138) in the Village of Ste-Martine (45.246N/73.806W). In addition to the burials in this cemetery, there were a number of burials in the basement of the church itself during the period 1838-1905. These have been documented in a local history publication². Local sources have indicated that there may have been an earlier burying ground on the north side of the present church dating from the earliest days of the Mission de Ste-Martine in the 1820s. There is no sign of it today as the area is paved for a street but any information on its existance would be welcomed.

This cemetery as well as the new parish cemetery nearby has been catalogued in a hardcopy publication¹.
