Old McNickle Cemetery

I took the road north out of the village of Rockport and then a left on to Holland Road. The cemetery can be reached at the end of a long lane south from Holland Road. It is on the west side of the house where the Sherwoods live. The G.P.S. location is N44°24.244 W75°57.447, as recorded by Jack Brown, 16 Oct. 2003 when he checked the cemetery.

It is only 75-100 ft from the house and is on a side hill that has been backfilled so as to make it level. There is a broken stone (I assume the original since Jack Brown got a date from it for John J's death) and footstones, but it was cold and raining and I just photographed the four I saw and they appear to be one for each child named on the main stone.
