Research has allowed us to determine where many of the burials are located in the cemetery. There are two perfectly intact granite markers that memorialize five of those buried: John Fielders family of three and Howard Latimer's first wife and infant son of who died in the influenza epidemic in November 1918.
1. Stella May Stoutenburg, first wife of Howard Latimer, and their infant son Howard Carson Latimer, who died during the Spanish influenza epidemic in November 1918 while husband/father Howard was serving with the Canadian Expeditionary Force in France;
2. the "Latimer" tombstone – base only – that we have learned is that of William Latimer, an infant born about 1907 who died of a severe scalding in 1909;
3. Eleanor Rose Swan, Canon Swan's first wife (the top, which was probably a cross, is missing);
4. the remnant that says only "1908"and "38 years" (this may be one of two Latimer tombstones indicated on the 1958 RCAF blueprint); and
5. the pink column for the John Fielders family of three, father John G., mother Elizabeth, and son John McDonald. (Recently we discovered that a 2nd son, Norman Fielders, who died in late October 1918 as a result of the rigours of service in France in WW1, was buried in the cemetery: his name has been added to this memorial).
