Five Cemeteries in the Township of Plummer Additional

Cloudslee Cemetery – burial lots available for sale

History – The Cloudslee Cemetery property was initially owned by Norman McEwan. In 1896 the cemetery location was officially surveyed. The oldest known grave is dated 1879. This grave was relocated from an adjacent location following the property survey.

There are 3 sections in this cemetery. Section 1 is the original property donated by Mr. McEwan. By 1949, all of the plots in Section 1 had been sold; subsequently a Section 2 was established on land offered by Mr. Arthur Chapman Sr. In 1978, section 2 of the cemetery expanded again on land purchased from Joesph Charron to meet the community’s needs for more burial plots.
