| Fosterville Cemetery (Upper and Lower) Rte 122, Fosterville, York Co, NB |
| There are probably as many theories as there are people as to why Fosterville has two cemeteries about one mile apart on the same road. One life long resident suggested the upper one, located on a hill side, may have been plagued with water problems. Possibly, although there is no evidence of such. Another suggested those who couldn't get along when living, didn't want to spend eternity squabbling in the spiritual world. More plausible is the fact three communities, Fosterville, Green Mountain and North Lake, used the cemeteries with the upper one leaning more to Fosterville and Green Mountain. Yet, families from all three communities used the lower one too. So, one guess is as good as another. The Upper Cemetery is part of land owned at one time by McMinn, later by Grottie Gould. Tom Carr donated space for the Lower cemetery, later expansion at the generousity of his nephew, Dalton (Dunk) Carr. Both cemeteries have numerous unmarked graves, the most of which will likely remain unknown since there is no one left alive who can really say for certain what plot contains who. No definitive record was ever kept. Those known to be buried here without markers are so noted. The italicized comments in square brackets are mine based on personal knowledge. |
