MAPLE RIDGE CEMETERY
Maple Ridge Cemetery was a village cemetery that closed
in 1888. Maple Ridge is no longer used for burials and is a
local historic site. There are approximately 200-300 burials
within the cemetery, and all of the cemetery records are
handwritten; those records are being entered into the same
computer program as Riverside Cemetery. Plans to refurbish
this cemetery are presently in progress. For information
about Maple Ridge Cemetery, inquire at Riverside Cemetery.
