Geocache Description:


Did you know, that there's a difference between a Cemetery, and a Grave Yard?
A Grave Yard is a plot of land attached to a church where the dead is burried, where as a cemetary isn't attached to a church.
Bonus fact, the word origin for Cemetery comes from the Greek κοιμητήριον 'sleeping place' 

There isn't much to say about this northern section of St. Peter's cemetery other than that the Catholic Church formally established its presence in New Westminster in 1860. In September of that year, Fr. Leon Fouquet OMI arrived to establish St. Peter’s Parish as part of the St. Charles mission

The southern Fraser Cemetery is far more colourful with details
The Fraser Cemetery is valued as the oldest operating cemetery in New Westminster. Clearing of the forested site for the Masonic and Church of England burial grounds commenced in 1869, and the first burials occurred that year. By 1870, the Masonic section was cleared and fenced. The International Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF) opened a section in the mid 1880s. These independent groups operated their own sections until the 1930s, when they were given to the City, which had opened its own section in 1912. The old section names are still used to describe the specific sections of the cemetery, including Masonic, IOOF, Old Church of England and Military. Additionally, the heritage value of the Fraser Cemetery is associated with the wide variety of people buried there - different ethnic groups, different secular and religious groups, prominent politicians, Royal Engineers, church clergy, journalists, actors, artists, scientists, entrepreneurs and community members who reflect the history, development, heroics and tragedies of New Westminster, with local, provincial and national connections. The Military section is filled with the graves of people who were involved in conflicts including the Crimean War, Boer War, U.S. Civil War, the two World Wars and Korea. Noted individuals buried here include: Acton Windeyer Sillitoe (1840-1894), the first Bishop of New Westminster; area pioneers Samuel McCleery (1839-1882) and John ‘Gassy Jack’ Deighton (1830-1875); and famous actor, Raymond Burr (1917-1993)
