Post subject:  Sound Island Cemeteries

I am wondering if the cemeteries on Sound Island, Placentia Bay have ever been thoroughly transcribed. I have seen various references on this site to specific graves.

I have not seen a methodist transcription. I have a few pictures of some of the headstones of the RC Cemeteries..Philip Browne, Sarah Gilbert, Blackadar and a newer headstone of James Doyle? Would love to get a full listing.

We just came back from a visit to Sound Island. There is very little left of any of the cemeteries. The Methodist cemetery at Newtown has only a few intact markers left. The ground has shifted, many trees have grown up, Some were renewed and a few were added for the Sound Island Reunion in 1993, but today most of them are either broken beyond recognition or worn and hard to read. These are the ones we could still read.

A worn grey marble upright slab: Ernest Wesley Beck d. 1927 wife was Geneva
A new black granite upright: Azariah Stacey 1882-1947 and Bertha Ann Stacey 1917-1918; Fondly remembered; Erected by the family
