To answer your question about the cemetery. In 1949, the church building was raised from its foundation, and a basement was dug under the church building - starting with hand shovels , then as the hole became bigger , horse and scoop to drag under the building and haul the dirt. The dirt was taken to the cemetery and the hill was terraced with the topsoil. It was a horrendous job, my Dad (Robert Black) did a lot of labour along with many other members and neighbours -digging and constructing a basement and improving the cemetery which had been a hill. The church and cemetery are kept in good repair. <br />Diane FranksDiane Franksnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957867315807728535.post-75041669951165436562017-04-25T17:12:11.749-04:002017-04-25T17:12:11.749-04:00You do not know what excitement was aroused from f...You do not know what excitement was aroused from finding the picture and location of Hemstock's Cemetery.
