"Outstanding in the Warner Cemetery is the restored Van Every plot. This has been enclosed by a two-foot wall of rough, red sandstone, capped with dressed gray stone. The old, old headstones have been built into the interior face of this wall, so that they are preserved from damage as long as the wall shall stand." -- The Loyalist Gazette | March 22, 2000 | McBride, Robert Collins
Warner Cemetery, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada.
