Hammonds Plains, Baptist Cemetery, Halifax County, Nova Scotia

HAMMONDS PLAINS BAPTIST CEMETERY - Rte 213
Halifax County, Nova Scotia

The cemetery wasn't always under control of the church.
It was known as the baptist cemetery but it was a community cemetery.
That meant that anyone could go pick a spot and be buried without the church
even being involved (and they were).  The community wasn't taking care
of the cemetery so in the late 1960's the church took it to the legislature
and had the deed put on the status books.
That meant that the church would control it from  April 1967 on.
