Fowler Cemetery
Sackville, Westmorland County, New Brunswick, Canada
You will need to ask the fort attendants for assistance!
The cemetery became part of Fort Beausejour National Historic Site in 1964 when it was acquired as part of a farm property adjacent to the site. It's historical orgin remains obscure as does its specific relationship with the fort which was occupied between 1751 and 1835. Typically, the first burial grounds were located near a fortification, a church, or centrally located in a settlement. There was also a practice whereby family burials were were occasionally conducted on private property.
This cemetery contains approximately forty burials. It was first surveyed in 1990 and again in 1998 utilizing ground penetrating radar units. Early grave markers were made of wood which explains why none have survived for many burials.
The surviving sandstone markers were introduced as circumstances permitted, such as the availability of a carver and family resources required for labor and material.
Some markers were taken for building supports or modified for chimney caps.
