17. Cimetière GEORGE
Situé sur le chemin du Lac, près du chemin Château-Jones, avec une vue sur le mont Owl's Head et le lac Memphrémagog, le cimetière George nous invite au recueillement.
Parti du New Hampshire, Moses Hayes George (1771-1835), accompagné de sa femme Abigail Channell (1782-1859), arrive dans la région vers 1794 et devient un pionnier du canton de Bolton.
Plusieurs descendants de Moses et Abigail George reposent dans ce cimetière
17. GEORGE Cemetery
The George Cemetery is situated on Chemin du Lac, close to Chemin du Château-Jones. It is still in use.
The cemetery was established by the George family and was the first to be incorporated in Potton. Moses Hayes George (1771-1835) and wife, Abigail Channell (1782-1859), were the first of the George family to settle locally. They arrived in Bolton Township around 1794, and it is believed that Moses George pioneered near the natural pond still bearing the family name. Étang George or George Pond is found on Mountain Road in East Bolton.
Many are the descendants of Moses and Abigail George who still live in Potton.
