Hi Sherry
No I am afraid there are no Campbells or Woods in this little cemetery. No there really is no town. Linden is just a small rural community. If you miss the sign you might not know you were in it. There is still a church and I am told at one time there were three. There was a one room school house and perhaps two ar one time. The one left is a community center. There was a store when I was a child but it is gone.
Nothing like Shulee at all!

Hi Sherry
I mow a little cemetery ( mostly Mills Clan) just a stones throw from The Goose River ( really more of a brook)each summer and I will tell you Linden is just about the prettiest community in the area this side of Shulie. Rolling green hills of farmland bordered by mixed forests. My wife and I intentionally take a drive back through the West Linden Road and around through Linden ( Goose River) just for the fun of it. Yes we live a very exciting life you see!
This in fact is the final resting place for a number of my relations and I hope it to be mine.
Freda- With all sincerity you are correct. The importance of this list is the heavy lifting being done by those who contribute so much real information. A little bit of silliness goes a long way. You did not offend me one iota. In fact your request to return to the busines at hand reminded me, fondly, of times when a teacher or my Mother or my Aunt would look at me sternly when I have perhaps crossed a line. I do not remember a time when it was not required. If I cross the line sometime again in the future do not hesitate to bring me back. Unfortunately I probably will again but will try not to ( its genetic you see and there is no drug yet available that helps ). So much.
Shulie you say hmmmmm . Sounds like buggy whip country. My kind of place!
Have a great Saturday everyone.

Well, Freda Freda. It's a joke. It's a little bit of fun between a few fellows that think Lower Shinimicas & Athol are the centres of trade, commerce and culture. Feel free to support and champion the locale of your first 21 years.
The fellows, however, have missed the point, as you yourself have indeed done so, because Shulie, Cumberland County remains as the mecca to the west to which all pilgrimages should be made.
You may not have wished to be rude, however, your demand for "enough of Shinimicas already" is quite rude in my not-so-humble opinion. Knowing more of all our small communities in Cumberland County is an important part of genealogical research. These fellows are proud of their roots and from whence their families sprung.
Enjoy genealogy, Freda, otherwise it becomes a chore!
Genealogically yours,
