Saint Paul's near Gros Ventre-Tothill


A long forgotten cemetery about ten miles northwest of the Cypress Hills in Alberta. 
 

It was active from 1914 to 1947 and, at one time, there was also a small church on the grounds.   


"Heaven is my home" reads the epitaph on this child's headstone.     

Saint Paul's Lutheran Cemetery near Gros Ventre-Tothill, Alberta was photographed on September 9, 2023.

    1. You're welcome David. The present is now too soon the past.

  2. Nice to see the fence around it to protect it from the cattle accidently pushing them over.

    1. Hopefully the fence will hold up for many more years. Cattle are not kind to cemeteries (or old buildings).
