About this cache:
This cache is located in the Paris Cemetery, an active cemetery in the County of Brant, serving Paris and the surrounding areas. This cache is available from 8am until dusk daily, although the cemetery may not be plowed in the winter.
On February 23, 1874, the Town of Paris purchased 5 acres of land from Robert Rosebrugh and an additional 8 acres from Ephraim Randall to be used as a public cemetery. The first burial took place in 1876. Renowned horticulturist Charles Arnold (1818-1883) is interred here. Arnold was a plant breeder or hybridizer, who specialized in the cross pollination of plants.
Senator J.H. Fisher is also interred here. Fisher began his political life in Paris when he was elected as Alderman to Paris Council in 1884. The following year, he became Reeve and Warden of the County of Brant in 1886. Fisher held the position as Mayor of Paris for five years. Fisher was successful and became the first man to represent the County in both Toronto and Ottawa. Throughout WWI, Fisher's unwavering support and many kindnesses to the men and women who served was recognized by appointing him Honorary Lt-Colonel of the 25th Brant Dragoons. Fisher was made a Senator in 1917.
