Both above notices must remain when copied or downloaded. -------------------------------------------------------------------- ORIGINAL BOISTFORT CEMETERY This cemetery was used by Boistfort Pioneers from about 1855 until 1887. This large mound is on the Old Buchanan Donation land claim. It was used by all people until the farm was sold in 1887. The new owner removed the headstones and burned over the ground. He was taken to court and was refused the right to plow the land but he refused anyone access to the property. In the 1940's a new owner built a fence around it but it was allowed to grow up into brush. Records of the cemetery were burned in a house fire and no one knows the number of people buried here. Old-timers think there were approximately 70 graves. The exact location of the graves is not known as the stones had been knocked over and were just in a pile. In 1982, out of respect and admiration of the early Boistfort Valley Pioneers, the Boistfort Lions Club asked permission of the present owner of the property, Leo Walsh, to clean up the cemetery. Permission was granted and the result is what you see today. What stones that were found were cleaned and put in place by the Boistfort Lions. A cross was erected, a fence built, and steps built up the hill. We wish to express our sincere thanks to property owner Leo Walsh for helping us preserve and make available to the public this part of Boistfort Valley History. The Boistfort Lions Club.
