The Granum Cemetery is well known for having the grave outside the actual cemetery. 
It can be noticed as you drive by on Highway 2.

The grave outside the Granum Cemetery is that of Mary Fitzpatrick, born Sept, 1865 
and passed away April 16, 1908. The stone reads “Beloved wife of E.R. Chugg” Mary was
the daughter of William Debursey Fitzpatrick and Maria Colbert who came to Canada,
to the now Gatineau area in Quebec, from Ireland in the late 1800's.  Mary and Ebenezer R. Chugg
were married in 1894 and in April of 1903 they and their 4 children:  Nellie, Edna, Everett and Lila
left for Leavings.

Memories of Nellie (Chugg) Lang:  “In April 1907, our sister Lilia died.  She had been sick a week;
then her appendix ruptured.  She was laid to rest in a corner of Mr. R. Laughton’s field where there
were no graves.  There wasn’t a cemetery at this time.  Then, in 1908, Mama passed away at the
age of 42 years.  She was the first one laid first in the new cemetery.  This was not properly surveyed
yet, so her grave can be seen still, just outside of the cemetery.” *
