The churchyard cemetery of the former St. Andrew's and St. James Presbyterian Church, Cardinal, Ontario, Canada
The old Presbyterian Cemetery was established in 1827. In the mid-1880s, a ship carrying immigrants arrived in the area which had experienced a cholera epidemic on board; numerous immigrants were buried in the southern part of the cemetery in an unmarked area who died shortly after their arrival. In 1897, the cemetery was closed. Many of the bodies and stones from the old cemetery were relocated to the new cemetery, and many unmarked graves were discovered in the process and also moved. These are the few graves that still remain on site.
