King Lake
Cemetery
From the 4 corners in Glen Meyer travel directly west until the paved road dead
ends at a gorge; turn left and head south on the North Road - yes south - for
about 1 km; on the right will be a little cemetery surrounded by a grove of
pines. It was formerly a Methodist/United cemetery but the church has ceased
to exist. This is an old cemetery & really not active any more.

Woodhouse Township
Doan's
Hallow
Cemetery
It is one of the oldest - and the most fascinating
- of Norfolk County cemeteries located in Woodhouse Township. Most of the
stones have been set in two long straight rows or in a concrete rectangle in
front of the two rows. This is believed to have been done in the late 50s or
early 60s, for purposes of safeguarding the stones from vandalism and
facilitating the upkeep of the land.
The black and white photo of the cemetery was
taken ca. 1920 1940 and shows the "witches gate" to the left. The other b & w
is of a painting by W. Edgar Cantelon, entitled "The Wooden Monument", at
Doan's Hollow, is over the grave of a German carpenter, born 1767, died 1839.
He is said to have fashioned the white oak slab and cear cribbing for his own
grave. These photos are in the collection of the N.H.S.
At the entrance to the cemetery, the tall iron
fence opens with a swinging gate of tall rectangular frameworks of iron -
rather like the principle of a revolving door in a modern store. Witches were
said to be unable to turn square corners.
One of the pioneer settlers in the area was one of
the early donors of property to set up the burying ground. On the stone
erected for William Park, who died in 1830 at the age of 66 years, the
following inscription was added: "This ground was given by Capt. Wm. Park for
a public Burial: 1798."
Another article relates a variety of interesting
recollections by Mrs. Charles Toms on the Doan family and the area known as
Doan's Hollow. (now in the NHS scrapbook #24) On the subject of her
grandfather, Elijah Doan, the pioneer settler of the district (lived)
1783-1865, sone of Jonathan doan of Pennsylvania), she says: "Grandfather
died at the close of the Civil War .His body rested for many years in the
small graveyard at the northwest corner of the farm. This reservation was
presented by William Park and the Walkers to the public as a burying ground in
1800, before Grandfather bought the farm. Grandfather's body was removed in
1880 to the Port Dover Cemetery and rests beside the grave of Grandmother...."
Mrs. Toms' recollections continue with: "The
first school-house, built of logs, was near the graveyard....The second school
building was erected in the graveyard and it was also used as a church."
It is not likely that all of the tombstones
survived and of course there were likely many buried there without markers.
The one picture of a stone is that of Thomas Bowlby, a cousin of mine 7 times
removed. His cousin, my 6th ggrandfather, John Bowlby and his wife Rachel (Swayze)
farmed not to far from here.
The cemetery is located on St. John's Church Road,
(that is the church I sent a picture of along with it's cemetery) just north
of the Blue Line Road. This church was originally a Methodist Church founded
in 1800, of which, Rachel & John Bowlby were early members and are more like
buried here than in Doan's Hollow as they were Methodist. There are a number
of Bowlby's buried here along with other distant relatives of the Smith and
Boughner lines. As an added personal note, there are some beautiful Mulberry
trees in the cemetery and we left with fewer berries on the trees.
The above notes are just a brief transcript of the
notes I was able to copy from books at the historical and archives in Simcoe.
Thanks to Gordon Harris for the information and
photos. Very interesting!!!
