Map

This section, the largest in the cemetery, contains the oldest commercial stones found in the whole cemetery, as well as some very recent ones. Notes in red are made by me, some on my relatives and some of the data was gleaned from the excellent book "The Dufour Saga 1796 - 1942," by Julie LeClerc Knox. -- Sheila Kell, Transcr.
