Germantown Cemetery Restoration Project. Submitted by Betty (Crocker) Lumsden, Sec'y/Treas of the the Germantown Baptist Church Cemetery Trust (email: blumsden@nsis.com)
A small, overgrown Baptist Church cemetery in Germantown, Albert County, New Brunswick has not been used since 1934. It and the church were established in 1851.
About fifteen years ago the inscriptions from 26 stones were documented. A group of interested descendants are presently contacting "known" relatives for financial support or "free gratis" labour in hopes of restoring this 148-year-old cemetery to a semblance of its original state.
If you have cause to think you might be related, a list of the known names are below. Eight of the 21 stones are FULLERTON's. A mailing to 31 descendants went out last week and there are no Fullertons represented ! Could a relative of yours be here ??!!
