William (Bill) Armstrong's photos with the keyword: Galot

This old wooden cross leans up against a fence surrounding a small graveyard on a high point of land overlooking Marguerite Lake, near Indian Head, Saskatchewan. Someone recently had placed simple metal markers identifying the people buried there, since the inscriptions on the marble headstones were only partly legible. All of the names were of French origin, including a Marguerite, who may have been the matriarch of the group that settled nearby. The metal marker closest to the wooden cross was for Charles Galot, 1865-1896, so I presume the wood cross may have been his original grave marker.
