(Old) Prospect (School) Cemetery

LOCATION, T45N - R11W - SEC.12.
This 1982 listing was provided by Richard P. Burnett, whose email address no longer works.

This firmly fenced-in cemetery is today in a private-farm cow pasture a quarter-mile off nearest road, CR 372 southwest of New Bloomfield. Last burial here...1898. The 19th-century Prospect School foundation is still visible in a thorn-tree thicket 20 yards west of cemetery. Perpetual maintenance (mowing, minor repairs) is today via a foundation created in 1990s by three citizens: Russell Holt, Richard Clardy, Walter Maltzer. Today, a local N.B. resident, Mike Martin, does this cemetery's summer mowings and its minor maintenance needs.
