Cemetery history By Velda Douglas TEESWATER--A public meeting was held Oct. 1, 1855, to organize a cemetery committee to purchase a piece of ground for burying plots to be known as The Presbyterian Ce- metery of Culros's (the original spelling of Culross). The first cemetery committee was comprised of James Reid, Mal- colm Keith, Alex and John McIn- tyre, Donald Murchison, John Campbell and John McLennan. Alex McIntyre was the first chair- man and Roderick McLean the first secretary. The first parcel of two acres was purchased on the southwest corner of Lot 19, Con. 5 of what was then known as Culros's from Mr. Nich- olson for $40. The property was tine Knorr had been baptized in 1992, but also was welcomed into the Church by membership at the service. Both young people have been ac- tive in the Church and have blessed the congregation for some time. During the service, the two sang a duet, "I Have Decided To Follow Jesus". Elwin Garland was the worship leader for the service and Thelma Steinman and Kathy Procter were song leader and pianist. Pastor Tom Warner gave the message based on the 1 Peter 3:8-22. He said people are connected in the Christian com- munity because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. We are raised with Christ once we choose to no longer be lord of our own lives, but to ac- cept Jesus as our own personal Lord. , We needieach other, Mr. Warner said and therefore need to join the Church, the body of Christ, made up of confessed sinners. We are then expected to learn our gifts and how to serve the Lord in the Church, using our gifts. We've been mads to serve, not sit. Our first connection is with God, our second is with each other, Mr. Warner added. Service doesn't lead to salvation, but salvation causes u's' to serve each other. cleared, leveled and laid out in plots which sold for $2.00 for five graves. The north part of the cemetery was purchased from Mrs. James McNaughton in 1909 and the new east part purchased from Thomas and Walden Moffat in 1937 and 1978. This section, was laid out in single graves in 1988 and they are available in any consecutive num- ber, rather than in plots. The stone entrance gates were built in 1934 and the chapel in 1938. The cemetery was deeded to the Village of Teeswater in 1974 to comply with the Ontario Cemetery Act Regulation with regard to the investing of perpetual -care funds. Today, the cemetery is operated by a committee appointed by the vil- lage. SOLUTIONS ACROSS I: Plea 3. Far 5. Rash 7. Wonderful 9. Know 10. Tune 11. Adult 14. Pater 15. Aries 17. Impel 18. Tilts 19.
