Haleys Buried at Chebogue, Nova Scotia- Tombstone Tuesday

Some of the Haley family members buried at the Town Point Cemetery, Chebogue, Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.  This burial ground is located down the road from the Chebogue Congregational Church.  This is a beautiful location, on a point of land surrounded on three sides by the sea.  Unfortunately, the stones are quite weathered because of the ocean air and weather.  The Haley family relocated from Yarmouth, Massachsuetts, on Cape Cod, to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.
