Dykeman Family Cemetery - Jemseg - Queens County, New Brunswick, Canada
Dykeman Family Cemetery
Jemseg, Queens Co., NB

Photos by Betty Damery fall 2002
When I took the photos in the fall of 2002, the cemetery was overgrown.


 
Note from a recording of this cemetery at the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick:

This cemetery is located at Jemseg on the left of the old Trans-Canada Highway, 1.2 miles east of the Jemseg bridge. In 1961 is was on land owned by the Dykeman Family since the 1790's; the adjacent farm was owned and operated by Norman A. Dykeman.  This graveyard was in use from at least the 1840's.  The last person to be buried there died in 1961. This data was collected earlier and was checked by Myra B. D'Aoust and M. Dawn Bremner  for the Queens County Historical Society on 2 June 1975.
