While looking at the names and dates on the markers I noticed that there were a lot of tombstones marking the graves of people who lived less than a year. Many of them were over 100 years old at the time of the restoration. In 1965 the grave markers were collected up and placed in a central display to prevent further deterioration of the stones. The two White families that we will focus on had their land just to the south of the grave site.
The graveyard is not marked on the 1877 county atlas and so I’ve added it in, circled in orange. Having recently been exploring in the area of Keele Street near Maple, I had noticed a pioneer cemetery at Langstaff and Keele Street, I decided to stop after work and have a look at the restored markers in the old St.
