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.

Also known as The Pioneer Cemetery, The Covell Grove Cemetery, The Butler Burial Ground and Gosport Cemetery.

The Covell Grove Pioneer Cemetery was established around 1828 until 1947. The Covell family purchased the property in 1881 and owned it until the late 1960's.
Amongst the community that used this cemetery were Lake Captains, sailors and passengers from ships that sank on nearby Lake Ontario.
In 1983 monuments were removed as the cemetery was being vandalized and monuments smashed on the road.
A monument was installed in June 2006 with the names of known burials with room for more names to be added.
In 2011 a tree and plaque was dedicated to the cemetery.
