The first known survey of this cemetery was done by noted genealogist Dr. Allan E. Marble on May 21, 1967. Per his usual procedure, he did not give the cemetery a name but instead assigned it an identifying number. For this cemetery, the number was 39. He recorded the location as Spectacle Lake.

At a later date, Genweb volunteers transcribed Dr. Marble's survey notes and made them available online at Rootsweb. At that time, the volunteers named it "Spectacle Lake Cemetery" but, in the cemetery index, they listed the name simply as "Spectacle Lake". They cited the location as Spectacle Lake.

The cemetery is located in the community of West Dalhousie in between the Spectacle Lakes, but Spectacle Lake is not the name of the community, nor the name of the cemetery. The name "Spectacle Lake Cemetery" is included in the AKA list only because the cemetery is listed by that name on Rootsweb, with no way to submit a correction to that site.

Dr. Marble transcribed 10 headstones containing 15 inscriptions. The oldest identifiable stone is from 1936. This is an active cemetery, so the number of headstones is now greater than Dr. Marble's count in 1967. He noted that the headstones were in good condition.

DIRECTIONS: This cemetery is located on the south side of West Dalhousie Road at Civic #5788.
