Town purchases historic Pefferlaw cemetery
The Town of Georgina has acquired Johnston cemetery in Pefferlaw. The Johnston cemetery is a designated heritage site beside the Pefferlaw Fire Hall. Robert Johnston and his brother William Johnston founded Pefferlaw in the 1820’s, and several members of the family are buried at the cemetery.
“This is something that we have been working diligently on, and I am pleased that we were able to do this for the Johnston family – and for Pefferlaw, given its historical significance to the community,” said Mayor Margaret Quirk.
