Ha Ha Cemetery
18th June 2016., New Horton , New Brunswick, Canada
There are three pioneer cemeteries in this area, including the well-known Ha Ha Baptist Cemetery, where John Smith, the “founder and first representative of Albert County” is buried along with two of his three wives.
Besides the cemetery and small bay, the “Ha Ha” name is applied to the creek draining from Ha Ha or New Horton Lake, which is about a mile north of New Horton, and is about two miles long. Legend has it that the Indians took the “ha ha” from the call of the loons. On calm, summer days you can hear the loons calling there and the small island near the centre of the lake is called, you guessed it, Loon Island.
