Patricia reminded me that I have copies of the maps she mentioned, at least I'm assuming they are the same ones. They were published 6 or 7 years ago by Annapolis Ventures. The series is entitled Cemeteries, Graveyards and Burying Grounds in Annapolis County, and includes 98 cemeteries on three maps, Map A - Annapolis County West; Map B - Central Annapolis County; and May C - Annapolis County East. The numbering of the cemeteries corresponds to that used by Dr Allan Marble who recorded the inscriptions of 132 Annapolis County cemeteries between 1966 & 1977. (Cemeteries that have been lost since Dr. Marble did his recording, that are very difficult to find, or are on active farmland were not included on the maps.) The maps are still available for sale at local history museums in the county.
As to the cemeteries you were inquiring about, Carolyn: 1. West Paradise Cemetery - presumably the West Paradise United Baptist Church Graveyard, #50 on Map B - is located alongside the church at Civic #5247 on the north side of Hwy 201 in West Paradise. 2. McLaughlin Cemetery (Bridgetown) - not listed; does it have another name? There are several cemeteries in Bridgetown and area. 3. Nictaux West Cemetery - possibly you refer to the Nictaux Community Cemetery, a large one behind the church at the junction of Hwy 10 and Hwy 201 in Nictaux, #96 on Map C. None listed for Nictaux West. 4. Nictaux Falls Cemetery - there is one listed for Nictaux Falls, the Zion United Church Cemetery (8 stones), #107 on Map C. "Park in the signed picnic area on the east side of Hwy 10 in Nictaux Falls. The cemetery...is one house south. A white board fence with two arbors enclose three sides of it." The MacDonald Museum in Middleton could tell you if there is a Nictaux West cemetery. Contact them at macdonald.mus...@ns.sympatico.ca.
