St. Richard's Cemetery Markers

As of 16 August 2005

These transcriptions are from the grave markers at Stella Maris and St. Richards Roman Catholic cemeteries in Louisbourg, Nova Scotia, Canada. They provide the very basic data found on the stone, though design, artwork or sentiments are seldom recorded. Additional information can be found by referring to the digital images of the markers, Sandra Ferguson’s data, and by visiting the cemeteries.

There are 9 markers in St. Richard’s cemetery and 8 are identifiable. There is a wooden cross but no record of the burial and a marble stone that has deteriorated beyond the point where anything is recognizable. The marble stone is probably the one documented by Sandra Ferguson as belonging to Annie Kehoe, daughter of George & Mary, who died on November 20, 1894 aged 26 years.
