The Ascot Corner Pioneer Cemetery is located in Ascot Corner, 8kms. east of the City of Sherbrooke (Quebec), turning left on Avenue de Pins (Pine) off of Rte.112. It is a small cemetery which began around the 1870's, but holds the remains of many along with some of the grave markers which were interred in the first Protestant Cemetery in Ascot Corner. The Municipality forced the removal of the bodies from the first burial ground in 1956 for the expansion of the new highway and the erection of a new Town Hall. This Cemetery was located northerly across the river and within sight of the present one. These remains were placed in two straight rows at the back of the Cemetery along with only the grave markers that were in tact.

The last dated burial was in 1971.
