St. Joseph's Cemetery
St. Joseph's - Balgonie, Sk
Recorded: September 1999
St. Joseph's Colony Cemetery
Cairn
This cairn is dedicated to the people who had the courage
to leave thier German homeland in search of new lands and more freedom.
In 1804 large number moved and settled in Russia, in the Odessa area. By
1885 they heard of the opportunites in Canada offered. In 1886 the first
settlers arrived here and named their settlement St. Joseph's Colony.
This Burial Ground is the resting place of these settlers.
May they always be Remembered.
Rest in Peace
