Additional Info:

The first burial in what is now Canton Cemetery, across the road from an original Bible Christian church, was that of Susan Hawkins, who died April 25, 1811, of smallpox. Following this, a son Daniel was buried in Feb 1813, a grandson Azel, Oct 20, 1819, and Evalina Hawkins Feb 28, 1833.

Apparently James Hawkins mistakenly buried his wife just off his property on the west boundary of his farm on land owned by Dr. L.B. Powers. On April 15, 1837, James acquired 1 1/4 acres

from Dr. Powers, which contained the existing graves and all of the land that is now Canton Cemetery.

On Dec 23, 1837 negotiations began to sell the land to the Wesleyan Methodist Church. James Hawkins died July 18, 1841 and was buried beside Susan. The land transfer was completed May

26, 1843 by his son James. This sale, for "eight pounds of lawful money", included land for "Hope Chapel, a church and meeting house as well as the cemetery.

On Oct 31, 1931, the cemetery deed was transferred from the United Church of Canada to the Canton Cemetery Trust for one dollar.

On Nov 12, 1989, a parcel of land approximately 1 1/4 acre was purchased on the east side of the cemetery to allow for expansion and the first two sections to be ready in late 1995.

There are many burials with records gone, some broken stones and some effaced so inscriptions are not complete. Perpetuity money is invested with a trust company and caretaking paid revenue. Each year some work is done raising stones and improving the grounds.

How to Submit Photos for James Edward Lamb

Until such time as a photo "Drag and Drop" function has been added to Cemsearch, here is the way to prepare your photos for inclusion in our database:

• IMPORTANT: FIRST select the person in Cemsearch for whom you want to add a photo, then re-open this help screen.

• You currently have selected James Edward Lamb. You can submit photos for his plot's monument(s) or personal photos of just him.

• On your computer, locate the file(s) of the photo(s) you want to submit for James Edward Lamb.

• DO NOT make duplicate photos of the same side of a stone for each person shown on it. For example, if husband and wife are both shown on one stone image, DO NOT make two copies of this image; only one is required.

• For MONUMENT Pictures, do the following:
• Copy this code: CANTONJEL; (MUST include the semicolon)
• Rename the monument files you previously located by pasting this code as a prefix to each filename.
• IMPORTANT: The code CANTONJEL; is SPECIFIC to ALL people on this stone or plot.

• For PERSONAL Pictures for JUST this person, do the following:
• Copy this code: CANTONJEL^0; (MUST include the semicolon)
• Rename the personal files you previously located by pasting this code as a prefix to each filename.
• IMPORTANT: The code CANTONJEL^0; is SPECIFIC to James Edward Lamb and your picture(s) prefixed with this code will appear ONLY for him.

• ATTACH photos (full size; if you can, limit to about 1-2 megabytes in size) with the prefixed filename to an email and send to: helpus@cemsearch.ca.
