Petitcodiac Baptist Cemetery
(Salisbury Parish, N.B.) 

(contributed by Cleadie Barnett, CG(C))

    Visited the site of the pioneer graveyard and the first Church to be erected in Salisbury Parish.
    The cemetery is located on the soustherly side of the highway leading from the road crossing the Petiticodiac River near Salisbury Village and roughly parralleling the Petiticodiac and Poller Rivers up stream until intersecting the road from River
Glade Station leading to the Jordan Memorial Sanitorium and thence up the Pollett River.
    The cemetery is but a short distance from the beginning of this road, and the original Baptist Church (built of logs) was located on the north side of this road and a short distance above the graveyard; its exact location has not been ascertained.
Information regarding this old log church was given by Mrs. Elizabeth Wilmot, who was born and brought up less than a quarter of a mile distant and had the site pointed out to her when a young girl.
    The frame church which succeeded this log structure was located on the bank of the River, directly opposite the entrance to the graveyard, and about eighty yards distance from the highway. The outline of the road leading to it is still visible and the outline of the church building is still in evidence by following the depression in the soil where the stone foundation was latterly removed. This building was approximately 32' by 38'.  Mrs. Wilmot, who was born in 1854, distinctly remembereds this church building, which was used for services when she was a young girl.
