- Description
- This image is of a headstone at Lang's Cemetery for James Westbrook, born April 16, 1802 and died December 6, 1854 at the age of 52.
- 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.
James Westbrook was married to Lovina Westbrook (nee. Langs), the father of Andrew Westbrook, Cynthia Westbrook, James Sydney Westbrook, is the brother of Sarah Langs (nee. Westbrook), and is the son of Major John Westbrook and Elizabeth Westbrook (nee. Gage), both of whom are buried in the Westbrook Cemetery. - Inscriptions
