Garth Cemetery
According to records dating back to 1960, Garth Cemetery was a triangular parcel of land, 1.06 acres in size, registered in the names of trustees, John C Allen and Mabel Brierley.
In 1962 Mr Eldon Alexander negotiated with William J Fisher for an acreage south of the cemetery. It was discovered that the cemetery was triangular. Mr Fisher was willing to donate some extra land and in co-operation with the Red Deer Planning Commission, the Department Of Municipal Affairs (which holds title for Improvement Districts, community reserves and cemeteries) and the Land Titles Office, the property was squared off to be about 240' by 350'. Later on another piece was donated with the co-operation of Mr Fisher & Mr Lasalle, so that now the size of the cemetery stands at about 2 and a half acres or 350' by 310' with the title in the name of the Department of Municipal Affairs.
The first burial registered was a baby in 1920.
