Read More	Saint Jacobs Mennonite Cemetery is located in a rural setting approximately 3 km/2 miles west of Saint Jacobs, Ontario, Canada. The cemetery was established by the Conestoga Mennonite congregation (named after the Conestoga River which flows through the area), when in 1844, the church purchased a parcel of land from John Weber Brubacher, designating the lot as a site for a school, a church, and a graveyard. The oldest part of the cemetery, consisting of seven rows running east to west, contains the graves of early inhabitants of the area, including the aforementioned Brubacher and members of his family. A monument dedicated to Brubacher and his wife, Catherine Martin, was erected in this section of the cemetery in 1975. By the early 1870s, burials were made in a newer section, just to the north of the original graveyard. These graves were arranged in rows perpendicular to the original seven rows, thereby conforming to the tradition of having burials face east. Several of the inscriptions on older gravestones are in German, the language of early generations of Mennonites in the region. In 1915, the congregation built a church in the town of St. Jacobs and changed its name to Saint Jacobs Mennonite Church. The cemetery was renamed accordingly. (The “Conestoga” name was retained by the Old Order Mennonites, a offshoot of the original congregation, who worship at the nearby Conestoga meetinghouse built in 1892.) The cemetery was expanded again in the early 1960s with a section south of the original graveyard.
