There is a separate waymark here for
Lucy Maud Montgomery MacDonald (1874-1942) in the "Grave of a Famous Person" category.
There is very little online information at
CanadaGenWeb's Cemetery Project but they list two cemeteries,
Cavendish and
Cavendish United Presbyterian Cemetery. Both listings may refer to the same cemetery.
The stone on the right side of the arch says that
Cavendish Cemetery was founded in 1835 and the arch was presented by J.A. Bamber and Friends in 1985.
The stone on the left side of the arch says In memory of Reverend R.J. Berlis, D.D.C.D. of Montreal who began his
Presbyterian ministry on P.E.I. in 1930 and departed this life here August 26, 1984. His last words were How wonderful to die here, on this beloved island, in peace.
There are over 300 graves.
