Prince William Baptist Church

The Prince William Baptist Church is located in Prince William, New Brunswick.  There was no cemetery at the Prince William Baptist Church but the Burden Church had a large active cemetery that served as a community cemetery. There was also an earlier abandoned cemetery behind the active Burden Cemetery. During the dam construction the Prince William Church was moved back above the new water line and slightly downstream to a new location along the newly relocated Trans Canada highway. When the e Burden Church was demolished by burning it in 1966,  both cemeteries were relocated beside the Prince William Church in its new location.

Some history of the Prince William Baptist Church is provided in the article From The Scrapbook: Settlers of “The River” (Prince William) & Daniel Parent, by Rev. Bill Randall.
