When it's not frozen, a small stream (see below) flows along the northern edge of the Wesleyan Methodist Cemetery, in the tiny hamlet of Strange on Weston Road, just north of the King Road. The cemetery was established in 1852 and adjoined the Wesleyan Methodist Church. The cemetery closed in 1878 and the church closed in 1900. Methodist adherents moved down the road a short distance and joined the Laskay Methodist Church. The Ontario Genealogical Society lists 51 interments at the Strange cemetery, including 16 small children, including several shortly after birth.
