User:Mustum Ardens/Lake of the Woods Cemetery

Lake of the Woods Cemetery is located in Kenora, Ontario, and was founded in 1883 under the original name of Union Park Cemetery. The land was donated by E. M. Rideout, a wealthy pioneer citizen residing in the area. The L.O.W. Cemetery Company was created in 1891 to oversee the operation of the cemetery, and did so until the job was assumed by the Parks Committee of the Corporation of the Town of Kenora on April 1, 1940.
