Separated by a greenway, Jug Prairie Cemetery is divided into the north and south cemeteries,
Within each cemetery are 108 'plots'. Plots in the north cemetery end with the letter "N" to indicate the are located in the north cemetery. For example 108N is in the north cemetery, and 108S is in the south cemetery.
Each plot has space for 8 graves, labeled as "A" through "H". With 216 plots this makes for a total capacity of 1728 grave sites.
Using this addressing method we can locate the graves of many people who played a part in the creation of the Jug Prairie cemetery.
A lot of work has been done by Sharon George and Frank Wise compiling the names and the grave locations so that we can publish them here.
Presently, we have listed the graves by Last Name, and some of the locations are not yet confirmed. Those just have a "-" meaning we need to go and actually look to confirm them.
There are duplicates, and missing information, but we will work on getting the information to be more accurate.
Here you can find the graves of three of the men who were appointed to examine and report a piece of land suitable for a cemetery in 1853:
W . W . McLaughlin (plot 8N)
Thomas King (plot 24S),
Stephen Smith (plot 50N)
