Yesterday I went on a little road trip adventure and checked out the small cemetery attached to the only church in a very tiny town. Most of the names were French Canadian, from the prairie region, and there were some really interesting ones - some I've never seen or heard of before in my life, very alien. I was amazed at how unique many of the names were considering the tiny size of the cemetery. I collected them for our enjoyment!

Most dated from around the 1830s to early 20th century. I guessed the gender for many of them because there were no other clues.
