(Old Hymers Cemetery)
There are some headstones, but some are hard to read. Earliest burial appears
to be in 1900 of Wesley Newberry and the last in 1933 of Fred Yurick.
From the Weekly Herald and Algoma Miner Friday October 12, 1900
A cemetery has been organized in Gillies Township, a company being formed for that purpose.
The ground was chosen on Mr. Hahn's farm and was named "Pine Grove Cemetery.
This morbid exigency was necessitated by the untimely demise of Mr. Navberry (Newberry)
who arrived recently to settle, and whose remains were laid away in the above ground.
Thus the living must make provison for the dead.
The sad necessities, alas, too early arise and call for our dutiful attention."
Some of the brush was cleared and some trees were cut & removed to make the stones visible.
This is a major undertaking and hopefully there will be another cleanup date later this fall or in the spring.
Thanks to Aria, Nigel, Linda, Lyle, Jeff, Gordie & myself for volunteering ~a job well done~
