It would be staff's position that the amending by-law not be drafted and
presented to Council for passage until we have determined what the
Darlington Cemetery Board wishes to do with the stones in the cemetery.
When this has been established, a by-law amending By-law 77-25 and detailing
the actions to be taken, will be prepared.
.Respectfully submitted,
David W. Oakes, B.A., A.M.C.T.,

Re: Enniskillen Cemetery (Presbyterian)
We, the Enniskillen United Church Board of.5tewards and Trustees ,
wish the Municipality of the Town of Newcastle to assume the care
and upkeep of the Enniskillen (Presbyterian) Cemetery in Enyiskillen.
The Enniskillen United Church Board of Stewards aril Trustees hereby
agrees to convey to the Town of Newcastle the abandoned Cemetery
located in the North West Corner of Lot L8, Concession 7 in the
geographic township of Darlington as described in deed.
As the Church Board Resolution was made in May of 1972 and that
the minutes of that meeting were not in detail, there is no exact
wording of the particular resolution. The minutes do read that it
was "moved by L. Wearn, seconded by K. McGill that we see if the
Township will take over the upkeep of the cemetery. "
As far as background information about this particular cemetery,
little is really available from this Church. It would appear that there
were no buriels in the cemetery since the creation of the United
Church in 1925. Therefore, any information on the cemetery would
likely be found in the United Church Archives in Toronto.
Thank you for your time and concern of this particular cemetery.
Respectfully.. .
