Mono East Cemetery
(Last updated May 7, 2005)
Mono East Cemetery is located on Five Sideroad between Highway 18 (Airport Road) and the 7th line. This cemetery was a lot bigger than I anticipated. It's full of our resting pioneers. The Cemetery Board has done a great job in preserving these stones. I was amazed that I was able to clearly read the inscriptions on so many.

AN OLD CONGREGATION
The
following valuable historical record of Mono East Presbyterian church is from
the pen of Rev. J. A. Black, of Mono Mills. The church is one of the
oldest charges in this district and Mr. Black has done Presbyterianism a real
service by putting its early history into permanent form.

NEGLECTED AND FORLON
Last week The Banner
told the story of the Township of Mono's Cemetery Board and its plans for the
restoration of the abandoned and neglected cemeteries in the township -- how
the first project in this programme, the restoration of Zion Church cemetery on
the Blind Line, was brought to fruition so satisfactorily.

St. Cyprian's II
(Granger) Cemetery
(Last updated June 5, 2005)
|
SAINT CYPRIAN II, GRANGER The increasing number of Irish farmers in Mono and Mulmur Townships in the 1850's led to the building of the second St. Cyprian Roman Catholic Church in Mono Township, at Granger on the property of Patrick and Jane McCabe in the early 1860's. Always a mission station, St. Cyprian was served from the Parish of Colgan until 1865, Arlington 1865-1883, Alliston 1883-1885, and from Orangeville since 1885. Rural depopulation caused the church to be closed for religious services in the early 1900's and eventually to be removed. The cemetery was formally blessed in 1879 by Rev. Henry Joseph Gibney, Pastor of North Adjala. Some 200 pioneers lie buried in this cemetery in the area surrounding the cairn which stands on the site of the church. During 1977-79 the cemetery was rehabilitated and the cairn built under the supervision of Chairman Larry Hall, Robert Shirley and Arthur Armstrong of the Mono Township Cemetery Board, which has assumed the perpetual care of the cemetery. This cemetery was rededicated and this plaque was blessed on Sunday, September 30, 1979 by the Most Rev. Robert B. Clune, Auxiliary Bishop of Toronto and Diocesan Director of Cemeteries.

This cemetery sign reads GRANGER CEMETERY. It is located on 25 Sideroad right near the corner of the 1st Line.
