Additional Info:

Glenwood - Picton Cemetery is nestled in a peaceful valley:

In 1871 the 150 acre site located at the edge of Picton was

incorporated as Glenwood Cemetery. It was consecrated by the Rt. Rev. John Travers Lewis, Bishop of Ontario, Nov. 11, 1873, at the request of Fred White and R. Ringer, Church Wardens. Glenwood Cemetery was once the site of one of Picton's early manufacturing industries, a Moracco factory. Probably the best known landmark at Glenwood is the stone chapel, built in 1901. The stone vault on site predates the chapel by about 30 years. Many of Prince Edward County's most prominent citizens have been buried at Glenwood Cemetery. Letitia Youmans, nee Creighton, a leader in women's agitation for prohibitory legislation, was buried there following her death in 1896.
