Historical Background
Watson Public Cemetery was established in 1920. From
1922 onwards, it has been used by
Independent Doukhobors who settled in the district in 1918-1934.
It is owned
and managed by the Watson Public Cemetery Association. The cemetery is in very
good condition.
Layout
The cemetery is approximately
six acres in size
and is enclosed by a shelterbelt of mature poplar trees. There is a single iron
gate. The cemetery contains at least 88 Doukhobor interments interspersed
throughout six
sections with rows facing east-west. The Doukhobor burials can be found
primarily in the south-east sections of the cemetery.
Driving Directions
To access the cemetery, travel 1/4 mile (.5 km) south of Watson, Saskatchewan on Highway No.
6. Turn east onto the gravel road at the bend in the highway. Follow the road
for approximately 1/8 mile (.25 km) as it bends south. The cemetery is on the
east side of the road allowance. This cemetery is open to the public.
