Added Note from a photo Volunteer: Hi Ian. I remember my trip this day, as the Markinch cemetery was an interesting one and also an abandoned one. There were Macaulay's in both Cupar and Markinch (less then 10 kms from each other in rural Saskatchewan). Kenneth Macaulay was fuond in Cupar, though he may have originally been sent to Markinch (though i doubt it because the cemetery is in very poor state.) The cemetery is literally in a farmers field without any roads going to it, hidden by long grass and hay as well as thorny plants.
Its possible they moved his plot to Cupar, though again, I feel this is unlikely as the graves there are not of recent times. Most those buried in Markinch perished in 1918 during the flu epidemic in North America.
So I conclude, 100%, Kenneth Macaulay's final resting place is in the well maintained cemetery of Cupar, Sask.
