BOOK - Carp Presbyterian Cemetery, Huntley Township, Carleton County, Ontario Genealogy & History Resources Transcribed by Ottawa Branch, Ontario Genealogical Society Originally published by Ottawa Branch, Ontario Genealogical Society, 1986, updated 1998 This edition published by Global Heritage Press, Ottawa, 2018
This land was originally donated and designated for a church which was never built. At some point, it was decided to use the land for a cemetery as there were already 2 Anglican cemeteries and a Methodist one in the area. Most original burial records are gone and as consecutive caretakers took over the position, their records were not kept up to date with the result that there are many more burials than the records show and no one knows the names of the earlier deceased persons. While recording this cemetery in 1985, it had been printed when the caretaker, Mr. Paul, called Dolly Allen to see if she had found the small stones buried in the cedar hedge at the back of the property. Apparently, burials were made along the fence, then someone planted cedar trees between the graves which in time grew up to envelop the stones completely. Ms. Allen returned armed with pruning shears, flashlight and chalk and found 9 more stones which are included in this edition. . The cemetery is located on Concession 3 (Regional Road #5) between Hwy. 417 (the Queensway) and Carp Village. It is well maintained with hay fields behind, and the Carp airport beside it.
