Floradale Mennonite Cemetery CC#4589

German Company Tract Lot 101 Woolwich Township

The Floradale Mennonite congregation was founded at the time of the division of 1889. For several years it met in makeshift premises before building its first church in the country near Floradale.

The first building, a simple white structure, continued in use until 1936, when the members demolished it themselves and chose to build a new structure closer to the village. A handsome brick building with central heating and a gallery was built in 1936 on land previously owned by Jesse B. Snyder.

In the these early years, burials from the congregation took place at North Woolwich or Elmira. in 1947 a further plot of land was acquired east of the meeting house for use as a burying ground.  In 1958 a three storey brick addition enlarged the church..

The cemetery is a small one yet, as it has been in use such a short time, but there is plenty of room for further use. (May 1993)
