Lotan Cemetery Commemoration

July 26, 2026 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Sunday, July 26, 2026 – 2:00 p.m.
 Lotan Cemetery (Ekfrid Township Cemetery E1 – LOTAN)
 5472 Century Drive, Appin ON • Concession 4, Lot 10

Lotan Cemetery is one of Ekfrid Township’s quiet treasures. About thirty-three burials rest here, spanning from the 1850s through the 1970s. It’s managed today by Southwest Middlesex, but it remains a place held in memory by many.

The Glencoe & District Historical Society invites neighbours, descendants, and friends to gather with us for a Community Memorial to honour the people who shaped this corner of Ekfrid Township.

Local historian Harold Carruthers will share the history of the cemetery and the early families who settled nearby. Afterward, we will take time in community to speak names, share memories, and acknowledge the ancestors whose lives left a mark on this land.

Everyone is welcome. Bring family stories, quiet respect, and your sense of connection to those who came before us.

Lotan features a well-contructed feature that preserves the stones.  It has held up well in the weather over the years.
