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 is on north side of Sherk Road, in a farm field (Lot 7, Concession 15, formerly Bertie Township). Roadway back to the cemetery is packed gravel. Cemetery is fenced and marked by the Town of Fort Erie with signage. For years this private family graveyard was maintained by Howard J. and Elva (Sherk) Fretz who owned the surrounding farmlands which comprised the original farm owned by John Sherk who set out the area for a family burial spot. Mr. Fretz explained that it had been passed down that no burials were to be made in the northwest corner of the cemetery, since some soldiers killed in a nearby squirmish during the War of 1812 had been left behind and buried by the Sherks in that corner of the cemetery. Many of the old, white gravestones are weathering badly. Most face to the west.
