St. Mary Immaculate and St. Joseph Catholic Cemetery is NOT part of the Elora Municipal Cemetery, which is a multi-denominational, public cemetery. *** Land for St. Mary Immaculate and St. Joseph Catholic Cemetery was purchased from Sem Wissler's estate in 1873. As the name suggests, this cemetery serves two Catholic parishes, St. Mary's in Elora, and St. Joseph's in Fergus. St. Joseph's tiny graveyard was decommissioned in 1873 and some of its interments & gravestones relocated to St. Mary Immaculate and St. Joseph Catholic Cemetery in Elora. Still in use, additional property was later purchased south of the main gate.
