Located in the historic Newmarket Pioneer Burying Ground. This cemetery was used from 1820 -1940, and contains the remains of some of Newmarket's original settlers.
You are looking for a camo-taped peanut butter jar. Watch for muggles, you are probably being watched from the local houses. Have a seat and enjoy the peacefulness of this place
PIONEER BURYING GROUND
This cemetery came in use in the early 19th century as a non denomination burying ground, but in 1863 ownership passed to St. Paul's Anglican Church. Prominent pioneers buried here include William Roe (1795 - 1879), a town founder; Esther Sayre Robinson Beman (1767 - 1827), mother of Peter, William and Sir John Beverly Robinson; founder Elisha Beman (1760 - 1820); John McDonald (1770 - 1828), a North West Company trader; Ann Roe (1774 - 1839), widow of Walter Roe, last British chief magistrate of Detroit. The cemetery fell in disrepair following establishment of another on Main St. in 1869. It was subsequently levelled and the cairns built.
***Super Geocacher imaginary bonus points will be granted, and your name will be added to the geocaching Wall of Fame, for all those who email the cache-owner and tell me the name and age of the oldest person buried in this cemetery. That is the person who was the oldest when they passed away. Please do not post this in your logs, send me an email for confirmation.***
Congrats to Stealthedge on the FTF!!!! Well Done.
