The "Restin'" caches are a series that will take you to local cemeteries, places of great historical interest. From Pioneers and modern people these lovely places are full of interesting information. Please take your time look around, visit the past. The caches are easy to find, most of the time. Please respect where you are.
I have been to this location several times for other types of caches. As I was helping out another fellow cacher, I realized this location didn't have a Restin Cache for the Belleville side. Well now it does and its well deserved with some of the history here!
The Belleville Cemetery Company is a non-profit, plot-owner owned facility providing a full range of interment options for the residents of Belleville and district; incorporated in 1872. The cemetery also provides cremation facilities for the surrounding area through its on-site crematorium.
Belleville Cemetery is the resting place of Canada's fifth Prime Minister Mackenzie Bowell, Canadian author Susanna Moodie and her husband, Dunbar Moodie, the first Sheriff of Hastings County, and an early pioneer in Deaf Education in Ontario - Samuel Thomas Greene and countless other people.
