Notes for John Wetmore
the crude grave marker just has the letters J.W. carved in it. It is speculation that the crude grave marker with the letters J W marks the burial site of John Wetmore. It is based on the burial registers of the Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Yarmouth which say he was buried in Beaver River. As the other two cemeteries are affiliated with Baptist churches it is likely he was buried in the non-denominational Founders Cemetery.
