Additional Info:

Record taken from a transcription by Edna Barrowclough in 1976.

This cemetery is between one and two acres in size. In 1860 land was donated by John Barrowclough from the southwest corner of his farm for a church and cemetery. The church was built that year and some graves moved from plots on local farms.

In 1892 more land was purchased from John Barrowclough to enlarge the cemetery. Lots in the new part were marked off in half lots and for the most part in the old section, in whole lots. In the beginning of the 20th century it was very much neglected, but in the 1930's a Sunday school class of young people began a clean up. It was a long chore. By 1939, rubbish was cleared off and 500 white pine trees planted. In 1978 these form a fine background, although many have died. It was kept in order by these young people for many years by voluntary labour and all funds deposited to grow into a perpetuity fund. When the church was closed in 1969, the cemetery came under the authority of the congregation at Welcome, but the former Wesleyville cemetery board continued to care for it and administer the

income of the fund. An annual bee is held, caretaker hired and audited statement given each year to the church authorities.

Stones were listed in the 1930's, since then many have become illegible.

The southwest section of the cemetery was the free portion. It is supposedly full, but only two names known. Also some along the fence on the south portion of west fence.

This cemetery was photographed and updated in May 2020 by Ron Smith.

How to Submit Photos for Ruby Yvonne Hunter

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 Ruby Yvonne Hunter. You can submit photos for her plot's monument(s) or personal photos of just her.

• On your computer, locate the file(s) of the photo(s) you want to submit for Ruby Yvonne Hunter.

• 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: WSLYVL@1048; (MUST include the semicolon)
• Rename the monument files you previously located by pasting this code as a prefix to each filename.
• IMPORTANT: The code WSLYVL@1048; is SPECIFIC to ALL people on this stone or plot.

• For PERSONAL Pictures for JUST this person, do the following:
• Copy this code: WSLYVL@1048^1; (MUST include the semicolon)
• Rename the personal files you previously located by pasting this code as a prefix to each filename.
• IMPORTANT: The code WSLYVL@1048^1; is SPECIFIC to Ruby Yvonne Hunter and your picture(s) prefixed with this code will appear ONLY for her.

• HINT: for convenience, these codes also appear below the Born/Died dates where you can click on them to automatically copy them.

• 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.
