image. This was a VERY difficult cemetery to photograph due to
the condition of the stones, the fallen trees and the canopy of
trees that blocked light.Located about 200 metres up the Back Road west of Oak Bay, (Route 755) heading up onto St. David Ridge. This cemetery is bounded on three sides by an old stone wall. Many of the tombstones are down and perhaps some are under the soil. An earlier undated transcription was used to help identify names particularly in the case of footstones. The earliest date of death was that of Anna Humphreys, May 9,1809. The last interment was that of Eliza Young in 1909.
This cemetery is presented in alphabetical order due to the physical problems existing there (heavy growth of trees, & stones mostly down and out of place, etc.). So that the reader may get a clearer understanding of who is buried next to each other, as often, relatives purchased plots side by side, surnames are posted on the accompanying grid, which was transcribed earlier.
Eric Cottrell has graciously provided the directions, Thanks Eric!
1. Take Route 1 east. Just before the Oak Bay Causeway there is a Route 755 exit off to the left.. Take Route 755 a short distance and turn left onto Back Road (There is a sign "Ch Back Rd" on the right side of the road before the turn). . A very short distance up Back Road there is a warning sign that the road turns to the right. The cemetery is on the left side of the road near the apex of the right turn. There is a house to the left just before the turn and that wooded patch that is after it is the cemetery! If you see a house numbered 24 on the right then stop, you have just gone by the cemetery. There is a drainage ditch running parallel to the road. The path into the cemetery is level with the road with a plastic pipe to let the drainage ditch water go under the path. As you walk in (about 15 to 30 feet), look over to your right and you should notice standing gravestones off in the woods. I would recommend jeans and long sleeves for this exercise (and bug repellant!).
