Ann Sinclair was born in Bowmore, Scotland, in 1832. She married Andrew Dalgleish in about 1855 on Goat Island at Niagara Falls. They had seven children: John, Neil, Andrew, Donald, Catherine, Alexander, and James. In 1882 the family moved to Moosomin, Saskatchewan, where Andrew and all of his sons took up homesteads. Ann and Andrew came to B.C. in 1896 and settled in Fort Langley with their daughter Catherine, now married to William John McIntosh. Ann died soon after, on August 22, 1896, and was buried in the Fort Langley Cemetery.

Located at 23105 St. Andrew's Street, this historic cemetery was created in 1884. This was the first municipal cemetery established in Fort Langley, and is the resting place of many of the area's pioneer families. The first burial was Robert Mackie, father of the municipality's first Warden. Separate sections of the cemetery were reserved for First Nations people and for Canadian War Veterans. Many of the granite and marble monuments are elaborately carved and decorated, and several gravesites are surrounded by wrought iron fences. In conjunction with an early landscape plan now in full maturity, it remains a site of peace and beauty. To the north side of the cemetery is a granite First World War memorial to the fallen men of the Langley district which was later rededicated to the memory of those who served in the Second World War.
