At one point the Catholic Church in Rawdon decided that any tombstones not being financed would be bulldozed and the spaces be re-asigned to paying families. These original stones were in memory of early settlers and founders of the Catholic Church in Rawdon. They had worked very hard and sacrificed much to have a church established in Rawdon. Descendants of the families had long moved away and there was no one left to subsidise these early plots. |
