Add PhotosMeadow Lea Cemetery NE-16-15-4-W2
The cemetery is presently marked by steel posts with cable strung around. The page wire originally marked the boundary is fallen into the ground and mostly covered.
The cemetery is on a small knoll and trees have overgrown the site.
Access is through Philip Lowe's yard. Turn north when you pass the yard buidlings.
The site is about 300 yards north of the yard.
The site is 100 paces from the centre of Section 16 and 15 paces north of the dividing line between SE and NE quarters.
If there are any headstones, they are not visible.
From information given to me: Dated March, 2004
In early pioneer life, death usually preceded the formation of a church, hence a cemetery was started, and often it was on privately owned land. The land on which Meadow Lea Cemetery sits was originally homesteaded in 1883 by William Whittet. Alex and Margaret Sharp later bought the property from William Whittet. William was an uncle to Donald William Taylor. However, Alex and Margaret Sharp are buried in Broadview Cemetery.
Other names listed as possible burials:
Henry Whittet, Rowland Whittet, Elizabeth Whittet, Linus Whittet, John A. and Jessie Maud McNeice, Minnie McNeice.
The earliest members of the White, Cunningham, Elder, Ovans families.
