The
Anglican Church of the Good Shepherd has taken on the restoration of
this rural pioneer cemetery as one of our 2010 centennial
projects. It is located in North Edmonton at 82nd Street and
195 Ave. NW. The
cemetery was neglected over the years but is in the final stages of
restoration. It is under the care of the Anglican Church of the
Good Shepherd, a parish in the North Edmonton neighbourhood of Castle
Downs, and we are now authorized by Alberta Consumer Affairs to sell new
grave plots. Full size plots
for casket burials (4' x 12') are $800, cremation plots (4' x 6') $400.
The cremation plots are a particularly good value as they are
ideal for multi-generation interments.
Contact for the cemetery is the church, 780-456-4643 or click on
the "Contacts" link on the left side of the page. The
Historical
Table link
is a result of information gleaned from the records of the Anglican
Diocese of Edmonton held at the Provincial Archives, files of the
Alberta Genealogical Society, and census and homesteading land
records. It reflects a research project that is a very much “a
work in progress”. We present it in this somewhat crude form in
the hope that readers can fill some gaps in our knowledge about this
cemetery, the community, and the settlers that lived there. We
would love to hear from anyone with information on the cemetery.
