About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

CEMETERY ALSO KNOWN AS FOUNDER'S CEMETERY & McGregor's CEMETERY

Mary E. Williams in a letter to the Editor of the News & Lance    May 15, 1958

The Founders Cemetery in New Glasgow, N.S., situated on a slight rise of land on the east side of the East River at the head of the tide, (is) a beautiful site looking south up the river.

...   a good number of the men buried there fought that Canada might remain British, before
they attacked the forests to hew out homes for themselves and families."


You must get a key from the New Glasgow RCMP office (225 Park St) in New Glasgow to enter the large steel gate surrounding the cemetery.

To get to the cemetery ... drive to the end of McColl street and park. Walk down the old railway tracks (now called The Pioneer Trail) a little way and the cemetery is on the right near the water.
