Old Fort Cemetery Coteau du Lac

THIS Cemetery is about 150 by 150 feet and is surrounded on three sides by houses, which are facing the streets Chemin Du Fleuve and Rue Du Fort. It is opposite the grounds of the FORT COTEAU DU LAC on the west side. When we visited this cemetery in late June 1985 to re check the inscriptions, it was a hay field and some of the edges, on all sides being cut. During this visit we found 31 stones with readable inscriptions, 2 less than when it was first copied three or four years earlier. it is an abandoned cemetery, probably Anglican or maybe baptist, but we are not sure.
