Uspeniye Cemetery - Whitebeech District, Saskatchewan
The following is an overview of the Uspeniye Doukhobor Cemetery located 1 3/4 miles northeast of Whitebeech, Saskatchewan. Rural Municipality of Livingston No. 331. Land location: NW 3-36-30 West of First. Latitude: 52°03.952 . Longitude: 101°40.836. Compiled by Jonathan J. Kalmakoff with Peter and Laura Verigin and Fred Petroff on June 17, 2006.
Historical Background
Uspeniye Cemetery was established in 1899 by the Doukhobors of Uspeniye village near Whitebeech. After the abandonment of the village in 1913, the cemetery continued to be used by local Doukhobor and French settlers until 1948. It is no longer in active use and is badly overgrown. It is privately owned.
Layout
The cemetery is approximately half an acre in size. There is dense forest throughout. The cemetery contains approximately 25 interments in several rows facing east-west. Over half the graves (22) have no marker, however, many of the mounds are still clearly visible. I have used death certificates to identify three of these. The remaining unmarked graves are unidentified. Three of the graves have plain iron markers.
Driving Directions
To access the cemetery, travel east from Whitebeech on the gravel road
for 1 mile (1.6 km). Then turn north
on the dirt road and continue for 3/4 mile (1.2 km). The cemetery is on the
east side of the road, approximately 1/2 mile (.8 km) from the road allowance at
the edge of the forest. This cemetery is on private property and permission to
access should be obtained by the owners.
