Description
This image is of a headstone at Lang's Cemetery for Andrew Westbrook, born April 18, 1849 and died May 24, 1863 at the age of 14.
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.

Andrew Westbrook was the son of James Westbrook and Lovina Westbrook (nee. Langs) and was the brother of James Sydney Westbrook and Cynthia Westbrook.
