Burial
Old Maskinonge St Joseph Church & Rectory taken from J. Casaubon's book Histoire de la paroisse St Joseph de Maskinonge, 1982, p. 42. The cemetery is at the back of the church.
A photograph of the old cemetery in Maskinonge where Dr Augustus J. Benjamin Schiller was buried on June 10, 1835. His son, Telesphore, the father of Seraphine, my mother's ggmother, was also buried there on Nov 11, 1880....S.A. Theriault Old church, old rectory and old cemetery (used between 1783-1892), Maskinonge Archives of Séminaire de Nicolet, F085/P5993 The photo must have been taken at end of 19th century because after 1892, people attended services in a new church building on the south shore of the river, 2 km distance from the old church. And after 1892, buials of dead were in the new cemetery by the new church. Plan of Old St. Joseph Church (4) & Cemetery (5) A plan showing where the old cemetery is located. It is taken from the book Maskinonge, Seigneurs et seigneuries by Clement Plante, Ormiere Historical Society, Maskinonge, 1981, p. 46.
"I spent the day in Maskinonge yesterday and was able to get to the old cemetery where 6,600 people were buried before 1892, including Dr Augustus J. Benjamin and his sons Albert (your ancestor) and Telesphore (my ancestor) and their wifes. I got a real shock when I got there. There is not fence, no stones, no cross, nothing. Only cows who shee and pee on all these poor bodies. All stones were removed and given away in 1915 and the land has been buldozed. It is disgusting the way the parish church there is treating our poor ancestors. I talked to the lady who lives in the old presbytery just beside the field where is the cemetery. She was offended when she moved there and as early as 1975 she tried in vain to have the parish council do something about it. I got a resolution passed by the Board giving permission to have a memorial plaque affixed in the new cemetery. I thought all the bodies had been exhumed and brought to the new cemetery. But it is not the case. Now I want to do something to have at least the cemetery fenced with a cross and a memorial stone placed in the middle. Do you think you can join with me in the project. I am also sending a CC to Robert Schiller as you both have Albert as ancestor and he is buried in that shitty ground!! with Telesphore.
I am very sorry to have to communicate such a bad news about the place where our dear ancestors are laying. Please let me have your view on this.
I also CC the President of the Quebec Association of Families with German Origin for his information."
