To reach this cemetery, take the Autoroute 10 E. towards Sherbrooke,
exit 78, turn right on Blvd Bromont , right on rue Shefford,
left on chemin de Gaspé, and then left on chemin Miltimore.
It is up on a bank on the northwest side of the corner of
Rue de Gaspé and Chemin Miltimore. I am not sure if this is
Cowansville, or East Farnham.
"The cemetery is old and abandoned, badly in need of upkeep, it is overgrown,
with branches laying on the ground. It has an old page wire fence and still
pretty solid, but the posts are now broken or tipped over so perhaps a few need
replacement. On Wallings map, this area was called Glen Farnham and there was
a sawmill, a gristmill and a small creamery but it has all disappeared, Douglas
was told that the grindstone was still there on the river bank but he hasn't
found it yet. Here are the names on the 10 stones that Douglas found in the old
abandoned cemetery. Anyone with questions concerning this cemetery, please direct
your questions to me. (Doug Hall, antiquebaker@sympatico.ca)"
