SUMMARY:Lotan Cemetery Commemoration
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, July 25\, 2027 – 2:00 p.m.\n Lotan Cemetery (Ekfrid Township Cemetery E1 – LOTAN)\n 5472 Century Drive\, Appin ON • Concession 4\, Lot 10 \nLotan 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. \nThe 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. \nLocal 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. \nEveryone is welcome. Bring family stories\, quiet respect\, and your sense of connection to those who came before us. \nAlso\, we are hoping to learn about grave stone repair.  There is a chance that Tom and Maria Moore from Forget Me Not Gravesite Caregivers might attend.  Harold Carruthers and members of our Society also have a lot of experience caring for the stones who have no descendants to maintain them. \nFind a Grave: Ken Beecroft and Gerry Cross will be there to talk about helping descendants who live far away learn more about their ancestors via Find a Grave.  They are the local connection. \n  \n  \n  \nCairn erected by Township of Exfrid Cemetery Board 1982\n  \nLotan features a well-contructed feature that preserves the stones.  It has held up well in the weather over the years.\n  \nAnother view of the construction built to preserve the stones.\n  \nA heritage cedar marked by the Municipality of Southwest Middlesex in 2007.\n  \nThe roots of a cedar have grown over a stone.\n  \nLotan Cemetery (Ekfrid Township Cemetery E1 – LOTAN) 5472 Century Drive\, Appin ON • Concession 4\, Lot 10.   New cemetery signs by the historical society and the municipality.
