Collected an4 Printed by A.DJordyce: FERGUS. 1883. THE MONUMENTAL INSCRIPTIONS IN THE CEMETERY AT BELLESIDE. FERGUS: (Ontario.) • ''MythoughtsarewithtHedeadl With them Hive in long past years; Their virtues love, their faults condemn , partal(e their hopes and fears: And from their lessons, seek and find ° truction, with a humble mind.' (SOUTHEY.) Collected and Printed by A.D.Fordyce: inERGUS. 1883» (Vf. r, BELLEStDE CEMETERY. The original Burying-Ground set apart for the newly- formed Fergus Settlement in the year 1835, — and after- wards slightly enlarged, lay immediately behind Saint- Andrew's Church ; but in little more than a quarter of a Century all the burying-ground lots had been taken up, and it became necessar}' to look out for an additional and suitable spot to meet the exigency which had thus arisen. The result was the gift by A. D. Ferrier Esq. of Five acres from his property of Belleside ; and its first occupant was laid to rest in May 1863. The Municipality of Fergus at a later date, acquired five acres more in case of need. The Cemetery has been judiciously laid out, and belts of planting have thriven. The Tomb-stones and Monu- ments of one description or other — are generally chaste in design, and in many cases elegant. The Cemetery is devoid ofthe picket fences which linger round somefew graves in the original Burying-ground ; and enclosures are in general tastefully kept — some, particularly so. Without venturing to criticize inscriptic >is, it is safe to say that all are more or less suitable, and tkiat some lines of poetry and some quotations from Scripture, are cer- tainly appropriate, as well as singularly expressive. It is hoped that no omissions nor inaccuracies have ta- ken place in transcribing — or very few at any rate. The alphabetical arrangement has occasioned in some cases, separation of inscriptions on stones which stand side by side in the Cemetery.
