Cemetery record

Batteau Hill Cemetery Duntroon, Simcoe County, Ontario

Photograph gallery of 23 tombstones in Batteau Hill Cemetery Duntroon

23 photographs. Photographs and contributor transcription — inscriptions are transcribed but not individually matched to photographs.

These are tombstone photographs I took in Batteau Hill Cemetery, near the town of Duntroon, Simcoe County, Ontario, in June 2005. The cemetery is on Highway 24 just south of Duntroon. The sign says it opened in 1834, and it does not appear to be in use today.

Name index

One stone was illegible when this cemetery was transcribed. It is not listed in the index.

Transcribed by the original Ancestors at Rest contributor. The inscriptions are not indexed to specific photographs — the gallery and this transcription are separate records of the same cemetery, and a single stone often carries several names. Bracketed [?] and [unreadable] markers are the transcriber's own, preserved verbatim; obvious spelling slips in the submitted transcription have been corrected (ages → aged, unreadabel → unreadable).
