Edward Lombard, a descendant, has one explanation for the remote location of this family burying ground which contains several stones from the late 1880s, marking graves of members of the Lombard family who lived and were buried here.

“Far out on Boundbrook Island is a cemetery of Lombards. They each and everyone died of small pox, and the fear that this dread disease might be wafted along with their departing souls prompted family members and neighbors to deny them interment in the old South Truro Cemetery where they rightly belonged.” *

* I Heard The Mighty Ocean Roar, E. Lombard, 1978
