New name new location.. As the first one kept disappearing. Not sure whether is by animals or not.
Some cachers in Lambton Co. set up the L.C.C Series to get people to visit their local cemeteries. We thought it was an excellent idea to follow their lead and set up a series in Huron County, which is called H.C.C Series.
As genealogists we feel this is a way to honour and respect our ancestors.
Thanks for the great idea.
Anyone interested in adding to this series can just enter H.C.C Series and the name of their cache.
In 1853 this village contained about thirty families and was first called Ainleyville, the name was later changed to Brussels. The Land on which Brussels United Cemetery was built was an unofficial burial ground as early as 1861. William Ainley the founder of Ainleyville, was buried there in 1862. It was originally called the New Connexion Burial Ground and was cared for by New Connexion Methodist Church prior to 1865. The church was later known as Brussels Methodist Church and in 1884 the New Connexion and the Wesleyan Methodist Churches united. The new church became known by its present name Brussels United Church. In 1980 the Church turned ownership over to the Municipal Cemetery Board.
Please remember you are in a cemetery so please respect the surroundings. "ABSOLUTELY NO NIGHT CACHING."
