Shawanaga Indian Reserve Protestant Cemetery

Shawanaga Indian Reserve Protestant Cemetery is quite separate from the Roman Catholic Cemetery and is in much worse condition. One section is heavily infested with poison ivy. Our guide in this cemetery was Mr. Solomon Pawis, 79 years old. He was a veritable storehouse of information and had a notebook containing many dates and records. After leaving the cemetery, we went to his home where he looked up many items about persons in unmarked graves. There are some 18 to 20 wooden crosses, wooden slabs, stakes, etc. in various states of disrepair, with no names. There is one plot, no markers, with a low boundary fence.
