MlST@Kt©fti^ jOll uianv veai-R there has been felt a want of a suit- ^«. able Cemetery for the burial of the dead of the towns of (")shawa and Whitby and surrounding country. The dead have hitherto been interred in denommational or local burial grounds of small size. Some of them by the -rowth of the towns had become so surrounded by the 'residences of the living that such burial grounds ceased to be the quiet resting places that affection desires the last homes of our velatives should be. They also threatened the health of the living, and prudence dictated that this danger should be removed as speedily .s possible. Nearly •dl these burial ]>laces were small, and almost filled, and had begun to assume tlu- neglected appearance that seems to be their lot. The ground which was the site of the Piesbyterian Church before its removal to Oshawa had, by necessity, become a union ground, in which were buried the adhe- rents of all Protestant denominations. This, too, was of small extent, and entirely inadequate to the wants ot the rapidly growing population of this portion of the county. Ordinary tbrethought demanded that a suitable Cemeteiy should be procured without unnecessary delay. There is no reason whv the bodies of the dead, who had lived to- gether in harmony notwithstanding differences of religious belief, should not rest in one comrion Cemetery, so large th'it it would answer for future generations, and so laid out improved and ornamented that the living could feel thai the dead were tenderly cared for. Divided into denominational burial places it would be impossible to have other than small plots of ground poorly laid out, without the means of taking care of them, and which m time would become neglected, overrun with weeds and exposed to the defikniHmt of wandering uninials and the despoiling han(i of the trespasser. United together hirge and hand- somely laid out grounds could he procured, which would not only be a quiet and worthy resting ])lace for the dead, but by th'i care bestowed upon it, be a credit to the living. A similar reason would show it to be advisable that tw.. towns lying so nearly together as Oshawa and Whitby, should unite theii wealth and public spirit in this matter, and together accomplish something better than either could alone. But in order that this could be done a ground lying midway jjetween the two must be obtained. With these objects in view, a company of g<^ntlemen have [)urchased the property of the late Rev. Dr. Thornton, and land adjacent thereto, making in all twenty-iive acres. This has not only the advantage above named as requisite, but another almost as important, that it bounds and par- tially surrounds the old Unon Cemetery, where so many of the dead of South Ontario are buried. The land is the crest of a slope which falls to the eas. and west. The soil is a light loam, which has a natural drainage, and ensures dry graves at all seasons. It has been beautifully laid out by H. A. Englehardt, Esq., who stands at the head of his profession, and has been sur- rounded by a suitable fence. THE PLAN. As will be seen by the cut that forms the frontispiece of the book, the plan is a handsome one, giving as it does a large number of winding drives and avenues and an abund- ance of foot paths. These afford spacious entrances to all the lots and a number of spaces for planting trees and ■hrubs and other ornamental purposes. ri )• The curved drives divide the Cemetery into nineteen sections, and these asjain are sub-divided ^)y foot patlis into family and smaller burial lots. The space on the left has been laid out into family lots which are 16x12 feet, and afford room for eight bodies. Plots twice or thrice this size can be had by purchasing two or more of these lots. The lots on the right are one-half the size of the family plots and are designed for four bodies. On the space to the left of the gates it is intended to erect a suitable keeper's lodge, and in the centre space fronting the gates a liMiidsome mortuary chapel will be built. In accordance with the plan, trees have been planted and ornamental work done which will be con- tinued next season until the Cemetery has been made what it is designed — a place worthy of our dead and lionorable to the living.
