Historical Background
Persikovoye Cemetery was established in 1915 by the Christian Community of Universal Brotherhood (“CCUB”) to serve the Persikovoye settlement area. Located near Perry Siding (present-day Perrys) it also came to be known as Perry Siding Cemetery. After the demise of the CCUB in 1937-1939, the cemetery continued to be used by its successor organization, the Union of Spiritual Communities of Christ (“USCC”). It is still in active use today. It is owned and maintained by the USCC Cemetery Association.
Layout
The cemetery is approximately two acres in size and is enclosed by a wire fence. It is located on a hillside. The cemetery contains approximately 300 interments in a single section comprised of thirteen rows facing east-west. Approximately 110 of the graves have no marker and the mounds have been leveled. I have used death registrations and oral tradition to identify 48 of these. The remaining unmarked graves are unidentified. With respect to graves with markers, the markers are typically plain concrete upright headstones or flat markers set flush to the ground. Click here for an online cemetery map.
Driving Directions
The cemetery is situated approximately 300 meters along Perry Cemetery Road, which is accessed off the east side of Highway 6 in Perrys, British Columbia.
