- Description
- This image is of a headstone at Lang's Cemetery for George Alfred Langs, born July 2, 1842 and died October 27, 1859 at the age of 17.
- 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.
George Alfred Langs was the son of John Langs and Sarah Langs.
