They may be gone but their legacy lives on.

About the half the people in the cemetery had the surname "Furry". It was very odd. :)

Luckies.

all dead in the groud is lucky?

I have no idea what the soil condition there was in 1941, the year they both died (or what it is now), but being near heavy wetlands would be a concern for me if there was boundary soil erosion going on over the last eighty years. That, and the wet soil conditions and age of the bodies in this burial, might have resulted in considerable adipocere formation (as in 'grave wax') in the corpses. Still, being right next to a major body of water (I mean, it looks like we're talking barely a hundred yards here) doesn't mean that erosion may cause this grave to have its contents exposed (or others having been prior to this). That, and the stone looks well-kept for its age (the sleeping ground cover also looking like it had been regularly cut).

I don't think I've ever been to a cemetery that was a 'family plot', a smaller one whose interments are mostly or all from the same family line (if not the precise surname attached to each and every one). A circumstance like the one you found in this cemetery, Pyat Mouse, is a bit of a family-line history in just the stones of varying dates of birth and death, without knowing much else about the family or branches of it beyond the headstones themselves.

If I'm not picking at you to ask: were most of the burials as vintage (or older) than Thomas & Daisy Furry's as well? Were there any that were more recent, or evidence of maintaining use as a modern burial ground?

There were other names - it's a cemetery for a small community called Lowbanks, which is now mostly inhabited by seasonal cottagers. There were a few death dates in the 1990s and one I saw in the early 2000s, but they were all for people who died at a very advanced age, suggesting they'd bought plots back in the 1940s or 50s.

There other really common surname was "Minor," which is the name of a locally prominent farming family with a lot of property in Haldimand County.

Quite the interesting forename to have. Also makes me weirdly sad to see a death before the end of WW2

We can pretend they died fighting Nazis when they were really old! :)
