Notes from Canadian Gen Web

The Scane Cemetery is located west of Ridgetown on the east side of the Scane Sideroad in Kent County, Ontario. The land was donated by John Scane, one of the pioneer settlers of Howard Township, from a portion of his land in about 1829.Of the tombstones still standing in August of 1967, the inscription of the oldest read "William, son John & Elizabeth / Feb. 19, 1830, age 1 yr" and the inscription of the most recent tombstone, dated 1912, read "Baby dau of Howard & Jessie Pyne"

Notes:
Since 1967, the cemetery fell into disrepair. At some point, most of the trees and surrounding fence were removed and the remaining stones relocated to a central area on the land.
