Lotan Cemetery (Ekfrid Township Cemetery E1 – LOTAN)
5472 Century Drive, Appin ON • Concession 4, Lot 10. 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.
