Gromovoye Cemetery Site – Pelly District, Saskatchewan

The following is an overview of the Gromovoye Doukhobor Cemetery Site located 12 miles northeast of Pelly, Saskatchewan. Rural Municipality of Livingston No. 331. Land location: SE 32-34-31 West of First. Latitude: 51°57.643. Longitude: 101°48.946. Compiled by Jonathan J. Kalmakoff with George Negrave on October 20, 2007.

View of the cemetery site (rise of land – centre photo) from the south facing north.

Historical Background

Gromovoye Cemetery was established in 1906 by the Doukhobors of Gromovoye village near Pelly. Following the abandonment of the village in 1913, the cemetery ceased to be actively used. Over the years, it became somewhat overgrown. In the 1970’s, the cemetery site was destroyed and is now under cultivation. It is privately owned.

Layout

According to tradition, the cemetery was approximately a tenth of an acre in size. The cemetery contained 10 interments in one or more rows facing east-west. The graves were unmarked. For many years, the cemetery was marked by two spruce trees. When the site was cleared in the 1970’s, all traces of the cemetery were removed. It is now under cultivation.

Driving Directions

To access the cemetery site from Pelly, travel north on Secondary Route No. 661 for 8 miles (12.9 km). Turn east on the gravel road and continue for 5 miles (8.1 km). Then turn south on the grid road and continue for 1/2 of a mile (.8 km). To access the cemetery site from Arran, travel north for 6 miles (9.7 km). Turn west and continue for 4 miles (6.4 km). Then turn south on the grid road and continue for 1/2 of a mile (.8 km). Ahead, on the east side of the road you will see a farmyard marked by a shelterbelt. The cemetery site is on the west side of the road, approximately 200 yards (182 m) from the road allowance. It is located on a rise of land immediately north of the quarter-section property line.  It is on private property and permission to access should be obtained by the owners.

Burials

There is no burial register, cemetery plot map, death certificates, grave markers or other records for this cemetery. However, the following families resided in Gromovoye village and may have members buried at the Gromovoye Cemetery site: Babakaeff, Chernoff, Chutskoff, Davidoff, Demosky, Holoboff, Hoobanoff, Kabatoff, Kazakoff, Kootnikoff, Makortoff, Maloff, Negraeff, Nichvolodoff, Savenkoff, Semenoff, Sofonoff, Stupnikoff, Vanjoff, Vereshchagin.

Arkhangel’skoye Cemetery – Pelly District, Saskatchewan

The following is an overview of the Arkhangel’skoye Doukhobor Cemetery located 13 miles north of Arran, Saskatchewan. Rural Municipality of Livingston No. 331. Land location: NW 16-35-31 West of First. Latitude: 52°00.564. Longitude: 101°50.149. Compiled by Jonathan J. Kalmakoff with Peter and Laura Verigin and Fred Petroff on October 27, 2007.

Distant view of the cemetery from the grid road (southwest corner of quarter-section) facing east. The cemetery (northeast corner of quarter-section) is in the ridge of trees at centre of photo.

Historical Background

Arkhangel’skoye Cemetery was established in 1906 by the Doukhobors of Arkhangel’skoye village near Pelly. After the abandonment of the village in 1917, the cemetery ceased to be actively used. Over the years, it has become badly overgrown. The cemetery is owned by the Crown.  

Layout

The cemetery is approximately one tenth of an acre in size and is unenclosed. There is dense scrub and brush throughout. The cemetery contains at least six interments in a single section comprised of two rows facing east-west. The graves are unmarked, however, the mounds are still clearly visible. They remain unidentified. The mounds are the only visible indicator of the cemetery.

Driving Directions

This cemetery is very difficult to access. In order to do so, travel north from Pelly on Secondary Route No. 661 for 8 miles (12.8 km). Turn east on the grid road and continue for 3 1/2 miles (5.6 km). Then turn north on the grid road and continue for 2 miles (3.2 km). Turn east at the approach marked by the conservation easement sign and follow the southern property line of the quarter-section for approximately 1/4 mile (.4 km) until you reach a creek. Stop your vehicle there and continue by foot. Cross the creek (rubber boots recommended) and continue along the southern property line of the quarter-section for approximately 1/4 mile (.4 km) until you reach the bluff of spruce trees (southeast corner of the quarter-section). Follow the west edge of the spruce bluff north until you reach the walking trail through the ridge of poplar trees that runs along the eastern property line of the quarter-section. Continue north along the walking trail for approximately 1/2 mile (.8 km) until you reach a fence gate across the trail. From the fence gate, follow the fence running north to the left of the trail for approximately 65 yards (60 meters). Then walk 10 yards (9 meters) west of the fence to reach the cemetery.  The cemetery is located approximately 200 yards (182 meters) east of the creek and approximately 50 yards (45 meters) south of a sharp drop-off. It is on Crown property and permission to access should be obtained from the owner.

Burials

There is no burial register, cemetery plot map, death certificates, grave markers or other records for this cemetery. However, the following families resided in Arkhangel’skoye village and may have members buried at Arkhangel’skoye Cemetery: Esauloff, Fofonoff, Kalmakoff, Negraeff, Ozeroff, Perepelkin, Pereverzeff, Plaxin, Popoff, Postnikoff, Ribalkin, Strelaeff, Tarasoff, Wasilenkoff.

Two leaf-strewn burial mounds.  A fallen tree runs diagonal from the foot of one (bottom left) to the head of the other (upper right). Six mounds in total were identified at the site.

View from the cemetery (northeast corner of quarter-section) facing south. The bluff of spruce trees (southeast corner of quarter-section) provides a handy landmark.

Notes

Various sources of data have been used in compiling this information including: oral tradition. This is a work in progress. If readers have any comments, corrections or additions with respect to the Arkhangel’skoye Cemetery, please contact Jonathan J. Kalmakoff.

Osvobozhdeniye Cemetery – Pelly District, Saskatchewan

The following is a transcription of the Osvobozhdeniye Doukhobor Cemetery located 8 miles northeast of Pelly, Saskatchewan. Rural Municipality of Livingston No. 331. Land location: SW 7-34-31 West of First. Latitude: 51°53.740. Longitude: 101°50.972. Transcribed by Jonathan J. Kalmakoff with Fred Petroff and George Negrave on September 2, 2006.

View of the cemetery from the south facing north.

Historical Background

Osvobozhdeniye Cemetery was established in 1899 by the Doukhobors of Osvobozhdeniye village near Pelly. After the abandonment of the village in 1917, the cemetery continued to be used by local Doukhobors until the 1990’s. It is no longer in active use and is badly overgrown. It is privately owned.  

Layout

The cemetery is approximately one acre in size and is enclosed by a wire fence. There is dense scrub and brush throughout. The cemetery contains approximately 115 interments in a single section comprised of 8 rows facing east-west. The vast majority of graves (98) have no marker, however, many of the mounds are still clearly visible. I have used death certificates to identify fifteen of these. The remaining unmarked graves are unidentified. With respect to graves with markers, the markers are typically plain, upright marble or slate headstones. Click here for an online cemetery map.

Driving Directions

To access the cemetery from Pelly, travel north from the junction of Highway No. 49 and the Village of Pelly Exit on gravel Secondary Route No. 661 for 4 miles (6.4 km). Then turn east and continue on the grid road for 4 miles (6.4 km). To access the cemetery from Arran, travel north from the junction of Highway No. 49 and the Village of Arran Exit on the gravel road for 2 miles (3.2 km). Then turn west and continue for 5 miles (8.0 km).  In either case, then turn south on the grid road and continue for 1 mile (1.6 km). The cemetery is 1/2 mile (.8 km) west of the grid road, across a 1/4 section, in the southeast corner of the adjoining 1/4 section.  It can only be accessed by crossing a cultivated field. This cemetery is on private property and permission to access should be obtained by the owners.
