This small cairn was erected by the Knights of Pythias in 1945 bearing the name of the cemetery of the time. The cemetery is now named Lakeview Cemetery.
The Vernon Cemetery was established in 1901 and the 8 acre cemetery site was purchased for a mere $400.00.
This is a beautiful cemetery and is very well maintained by the city of Vernon. There are currently over 18,000 internments.
