Caring for a Cemetery By Mrs. Egar Wilcox OTTAM HAS a pioneer cemetery which Cdates back to 1830. When this cemetery was practically abandoned and very unkempt, the Women‘s Institute decided to do something about it. The women cleaned up the overgrowth and rubbish and since 1920 they have been responsible for the care of the cemetery. One improvement was to erect an iron fence with stone posts and the women keep the fence painted, doing the painting themselves. Nestled in the cemetery is the Trinity Anglican Church, the main part of which was built in 1866. The Church is still active. A few years ago in memory of the boys who failed to return from two world wars, the Institute erected in the cemetery a beautiful memorial in the form of a monument and sixteen white marble crosses. Information about our cemetery’s histOry has been given to us by our charter and life member, Mrs. W. H. Neville who is ninety- seven years old.
