Geocache Description:

Should be a fairly easy P&G cache, at a peaceful location in Historic Olde Thornhill. Take some time to stroll, find some of the names of early settlers here, and ponder life and eternity. 


 

Thornhill cemetery was started in 1867 as a non-denominational burying ground. A two acre block of land was purchased and divided into 200 plots, and each burial plot cost $2.00. 

The cemetery was enlarged in 1911 by the acquisition of a wedge-shaped piece of land near John St. The oldest stone in the cemetery, relocated here, reads 'Matthias Sanders, fell at the battle of York, Nov 1813, aged 40 years.
A somber admonition is at the base of the Mundy tombstone:
"Passerby, as you are now, so once was I.
As I am now, so you will be.
Prepare for death and eternity."

 

CONGRATULATIONS TO COLESWAG, WHO WAS PASSING BY FROM OUT OF TOWN, AT JUST THE RIGHT TIME TO GET A SPEEDY FTF SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT!!!
