Provincial Hospital Cemetery

The Provinicial Hospital, or Lunatic Asylum as it was known way back,  maintains a cemetery on Sand Cove Road.  I have heard it was used for indigents and patients without families, but I don't know this for certain.
It is very well kept; there are three sections of wooden markers. The names have mostly vanished with time and weather, but a few are slightly legible. It's a striking scene that most people in Saint John aren't aware of.
