- Description
- This image is of a headstone at Lang's Cemetery for Alvin Westbrook, born March 28, 1871 and died April 10, 1871 at the age of 13 days.
- 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.
Alvin Westbrook was the son of Truman W. Westbrook and Phebe Westbrook (nee. Ervin) - Inscriptions
