Description
This image is of a headstone at Lang's Cemetery for Lovina Westbrook, born July 15, 1805 and died February 21, 1873 at the age of 67.
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.

Lovina Westbrook (nee. Langs) was married to James Westbrook, was the mother of Andrew Westbrook, Cynthia Westbrook, James Sydney Westbrook, was the daughter of Jacob Langs and Elizabeth Fowler, and the sister of John Langs and Sydney B. Lampkin (nee. Langs).
