Erieville Reservoir Cemetery

By Bill and Sue Brennan from the June, 1976, Erieville - Nelson Patriot.

This cemetery was originally linked to the Second Baptist Church and Sopciety, who settled in this area.  It is located about one mile north of Erieville, above the dam near the reservoir outlet.  The twenty-two headstones have been removed and the only proof of its existence is in the memory of some of our older inhabitants.  Listed below are the names and dates of those early settlers.
