History:
The cemetery was established in 1850 and consecrated in 1855 on land donated by Hugh Ferguson. A mission church, served by the Priests from St. James Church in Colgan was built at that time. The original building was destroyed by fire in 1885 and the present brick structure was erected the same year.
Based on information from
An Historical Plaque of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Toronto, dated 1985 located by the church.
