Mountsberg Methodist Cemetery

Mountsberg Methodist Cemetery Mountsberg Methodist Cemetery is a pioneer cemetery found on Lot 6, Mountsberg Road. Founded in 1834 it still serves the community.

In 1839 the burial of Emanuel Barnes aged 2 months, took place on land given to the local Methodist community by area farmer Phillip Johnson. A year or two before the interment a small Meeting House had been erected by members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, located on the opposite side of the Mountsberg Road. The deed for the burial land, on part of which a church was later to be built, was no

t registered until 28 August 1852. By this date there had been at least sixteen additional burials in the cemetery area. The date for registration of the deed was possibly linked to the death of Phillip Johnson’s wife Ann, who died in 1852

The church remained in use until 1924 with the formation of the United Church. Subsequently, church services at this location were reduced to twice annually, and then annually, before the church was deconsecrated in 1969. The church building was removed and now stands at Westfield Heritage Centre, while the cemetery remains in use. Other Known Names: Episcopal United Church Cemetery

Hello,
I came across these photos while sorting through a box of photos belonging to my grandparents. The photos have been in storage for over 30 years. My grandfather was Albert E. Mount. The only funeral I ever attended at Mountsberg cemetery site was for his sister Janet (F***y) Mount in 1990. In 2007 I got married at the church at Westfield Just thought I'd share.
Kind regards,
Christine Mundy Battiston
