The MacNab Hill Cemetery Society is a non-profit society with the objective to care for, preserve and maintain the MacNab Hill Cemetery located in Upper Malagash, Nova Scotia, Canada: A place of remembrance since 1803.

The cemetery was established by Alexander McNab (born at Suie, Glendochart, Perthshire, Scotland) who came to Upper Malagash with his brother James in approximately 1790. [See his 'Table-stone' in photo at right.] Traditionally in Scotland, the McNab's established a  family cemetery, one being at Suie, a farmstead in Alexander's home community. 

There are more than 145 individual buriels in MacNab Hill Cemetery. The earliest with a surviving marker is Isabella McNab, b. 17 November, 1799 - d. 21 May, 1803, 2nd daughter of Alexander and Catherine (Waugh) McNab. The second oldest with a surviving marker is Isabella MacFarlane who died in 1806. 

Many close relatives to Alexander McNab are buried at this cemetery. These families include Waugh, Dewar and MacFarlane. Eventually descendants, neighbours and friends were buried in the cemetery. In total 31 family names including Stewart, Barclay, MacDonald, Cunningham, Canfield, Patriquin, Thurgood, McIntosh, Trenholm, Newcomb, Patton, Browne, Gullon, Glendenning, Tuttle, Faulkner, Morrison and Allen, are recorded on the stones. Many of these families have now moved away from this area. 

It is necessary to earn $1,000 per year from our investment fund in order to maintain this cemetery. The Board of Directors has approved a campaign goal of at least $30,000 within five years.

We are ready to receive charitabe donations to help preserve this historic Malagash cemetery. Please be as generous as you can.
