If no one has helped you out, I'd be happy to give it a shot in the spring. I want to look up some relatives of my own but it is a huge cemetery.

ThankYou very Al! No I have not been helped with this yet, so appreciate very much the offer. It is a huge cemetery- I looked it up on Street view of Google maps. Wonder if there is a plot map available for it?

Here again is the info I have from my first post:

OFCA info says Section 1, Mountview Cemetery, Dumphries N., Waterloo Co. Ontario. WW-4495 Death dates should be 1877 for Christine (Wood)Goodfellow and 1901 for Oliver Goodfellow.

Thanks again ! If you have anywhere close to the amt of snow we have here in New Brunswick, it may be late into the spring before you can get into there....

The listings of the Inscriptions, housed at the Grace Schmidt library of the Waterloo county OGS, will probably have key maps. Where they don't. The Administration Office for the Cemetery, (at Parklawn) will be able to help. see the following from the City of Cambridge website:

If anyone would like a picture and transcription of a gravestone at Mountview, please post the location (or most likely section of the cemetery based on age of the grave) and your email address. We will do our best to find it. This is a very large, very hilly cemetery and we will be cycling through it, so our trips there will be occasional weekends and are weather dependent.

hello I am looking for Thomas Turnbull died Sep 1881. I was told there are 3 Thomas Turnbulls in the Mountview Cem. He died soon after he returned to Not. from Calif. One of the other Thomas Ts maybe his son whom I can't find. I know this is asking a lot as the cemetery is so big but I have been searching for years with no luck. Is there any chance someone could get pictures to me?
Hopefully,

Barb

Thank-you so much for the info. They aren't my Thomas and family but I can eliminate another cemetery. I will find him because he is there somewhere. There is a lot of info about him on his headstone. Somebody had a reference to him on a web site that was lost. he was buried in or around Guelph.

Thanks again, Barb
