ST. JOHN CEMETERY, MATCHEDASH, 3223 Upper Big Chute Road, Severn Township

In 1896, Joseph Sutherland Gill and his wife Catherine transferred 1.5 acres of land from the NE corner of their farm to the Anglican Diocese for the sum of $1. It is understood the church was erected shortly after that time. According to the date stone on the gate, the cemetery was opened in 1906. (Based on information from: Simcoe County Branch, Ontario Genealogical Society, 1985.)
