    Entrance to Blockhouse Hill Cemetery, photo taken 14 Jun 2025. The vehicle gate is padlocked, but a pedestrian walk-thru is just to the right. Sign is missing the middle board with the word Hill. The small monument directly in front of the Maxwell mausoleum is the backside of the headstone of Rossie and Howard Weekley.
