Title
‘In Memory of’ Chelsea’s Historic Cemeteries: Community Institutions From Pioneer Times to the Present
Abstract
In Chelsea, Quebec, four cemeteries still exist that date from the early decades of the village’s settlement in the 1820s. Three are burial sites for Protestants and one is a Roman Catholic cemetery. The author maintains that these four cemeteries exemplify the different kinds of burial sites which developed in frontier settlements: the family plot, a private burial area, a communal burial area and a church-organized site.
