- Description
- This image is of a headstone at Lang's Cemetery for Helen M. Cornwell who passed away on February 4, 1863 at the age of 26. She was born on March 30, 1836.
- Notes
- 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.
Helen M. Cornwell (nee. Lampkin) was the wife of Benjamin Cornwell, the mother of Frederick Cornwell, the daughter of Edward Lampkin and Sydney B. Lampkin (nee. Langs), and the sister of Martha Lampkin and John Lampkin and Catherine Lowrey. - Inscriptions
