The Bartonville Cemetery site marks the earliest beginnings of the congregation of Pioneer Memorial United Church.
Circa 1824, pioneers, meeting under the leadership of Methodist Episcopal Church circuit preachers, built a wooden church which served them until it was destroyed by fire in 1846. On February 6, 1859, a brick church at the cemetery was moved in 1895 to Tweedside, where it now stands.
In the 1950's, the population growth created the need to build a larger church building. On January 18, 1959, a new church, built across from this cemetery, was dedicated as Pioneer Memorial Church to honour those pioneers who built so that future generations might be the beneficiaries.
In 1952, the City of Hamilton assumed responsibility for this cemetery.
Congratulations to Rain_Beaux on the FTF!
