Est. 1855

This Cemetery is located on the McCharles Cross road in Big Baddeck,N.S.From the overpass on Highway 105 (TCH) travel 3.2 kms. to the intersection of McCharles Cross. Turn right and travel .7 kms. to the second road on the left. This is the Cemetery access road,which has a gate across it. Park your vehicle and walk into the cemetery ( 5 min. )

This transcription was done by R.Muggah catman@fox.nstn.ca in June 1998. All stones were recorded except three that had fallen over and were buried in the grass and top soil. The majority of stones have fallen over and shortly will be covered by the sod. 15 years ago every stone was as the day it was placed there. The transcription was done in order, starting at the back fence, right to left, then next row, left to right, etc. There are only 1 full row and 3 partial rows on the left side of the cemetery.

Surnames on the stones:

Anderson, Bradley, Cain, Foyle, Jones, Marks, Muggah, Rowe, Sparling, Watson.

Surnames on a cenotaph placed here:

Anderson, Archibald, Crowdis, Kennedy.
