Cemeteries

The persons listed here are those who have lived part of their lives in Boundary County, or are associated with it in some way. Whether they lived many years in Boundary County, or just a few, they have enriched our history, and we are grateful for their influence.

We know quite a bit about some of them, such as Martha Doust, buried in Paradise Valley Cemetery.  Martha was born 4 Dec 1844 in Ontario, Canada, the daughter of Ezekial McConnell, of Ireland.  She married Edwin Doust, and died 7 Oct 1926.

Others remain nameless, such as the numberless Chinese who died working on the railroad, who are buried in a common grave at Crossport.

And just walking the cemeteries, looking at headstones and fighting mosquitoes!
