Hi Carol Lee, You may want to try looking at Greenfield Cemetery, Wellington County, Peel Township. I lived in Arthur for many, many years and that is the only cemetery that I know of in the immediate area. There are a couple of other REALLY SMALL ones just on the outskirts of the village, and one in Damascus (which is a 5-10 minute drive), but they have a few people buried in each. Try looking on the OCFA website for her using her last name (and given if you know it) with Wellington County and Peel Township fields filled in.

Thank you Kim and all who emailed: I have been compiling a list of all nearby (Burrell line) cemeteries that were in operation in 1871..I have many times searched the OCFA. I understand that they are always adding names. I have contacted Greenfield to see if there are any unidentified gravestones and was told that as far as they knew they have all been identified and Catherine Dunne is not there... And to Jean F. the Catholic Church at Kenilworth on Hwy 6, would that be St. Peter's? (formerly I believe, St. Gregory's?)..if it is, I'm still waiting for information from them. They allowed the FHC to film records from 1858-1875 and I was lucky to find one baptismal and 6 births!! <<There are a > couple of other REALLY SMALL ones just on the > outskirts of the village, and one in Damascus (which > is a 5-10 minute drive), but they have a few people > buried in each.>> If these two other cemeteries have names or directions to them, I would appreciate any information. Particularly the one near Damascus And thanks to Wayne Cook who provided me with some great information that I didn't know. <<Part of Luther township and parts of Arthur township were surveyed by Lewis Burwell and for many years #9 Highway from Arthur towards Teviotdale was known as the Burwell Line..>> And finally thanks to Shelia for that wonder map!! This is indeed a great group...

Hi All. The most likely church and cemetery for the Catholic folks on the Burway Line would be church i n Arthur and then buried in the Catholic cemetery at Arthur. You come to it before Greenfield on #9. They are connected by a driveway. There may not even be a sign at their entrance from No 9, I never noticed. I doubt if it would be listed under Greenfield though. Listed in the telephone Directory is Sacred Heart Church Kenilworth 519 - 848-3216. The cemetery is beside the church For Arthur I only see St Johns Church, that might be Catholic 519-848-2108. They are the only catholic churches for that whole area, as far as I know, always have been. Jean F. ><And to Jean F. the Catholic Church at Kenilworth on Hwy 6, would that be >St. Peter's?
