Background: Pinegrove Cemetery & Beckwith United Cemeteries

Pinegrove Cemetery is located in Lot 20, Concession 10, Beckwith Township, Lanark County. In 1894 the property was owned by Hugh Robertson and his son, Robert J. Robertson. Later, in 1910, it is reported that Edward Cram became the owner. However, R. J. Robertson must have retained possession of a portion of the property as he commenced selling burial plots here. At his death his widow continued in the business in accord with the dictates of his will. Subsequent to the death of Mrs Robertson in 1953, St Andrews Presbyterian Church held title for a brief period and then turned title over to the Board of Trustees of the United Cemeteries of St Fillans and Maplewood. All three are now known collectively as Beckwith United Cemeteries.
