Also, new on Memorial's Digital Archives Initiative is this intriguing map of the new cemetery built to house remains exhumed as part of the construction of the United States Air Force Base at Argentia during World War II. I don't know much about that story, but it sounds intriguing! If you know more about it, send me an email at ich@heritagefoundation.ca. The list of names includes some fascinating entries, including "Young Man from the Plot of Richard Healy" and "Teresa Sampson (Mistaken for another person by relatives)" and "Michael Smith - Age 80 & Another Body out of same Plot under Big Rose Bush." I'd love to know the story of Teresa!

Does anyone have a picture of this Church of England Oldest Cemetery in Harbour Breton from the front? It might be the one I am looking for. I am trying to locate a Joseph Haggett who died on 25th of September 1891. The front area shows a very old wooden entrance gate that you walk under. It is near the water at the end of a old road. Need Help RIck In Ontario.
