- Description
- The Lang cemetery is behind the barn on the east corner of Hwy No.2 and the Madden Road. It is no more than half an acre in size. There are a number of graves without stones. Most of the stones had foot stones that have been removed. This is a family cemetery but in the early days travellers going through have died from epidemics and other reasons and some are buried here with no markers.
The earliest known burial at the Langs Cemetery was for Elizabeth Jane Vanderlip on October 8, 1821. The Latest was for Eliza (Sands) Langs on March 7, 1909.
