The first lmdy laidthere afterfthe creation of the cemetery grounds was that of a man named George, who died as the result of a shooting accident while hunting. Prior to that, however. a trader on his way to the Indian camps about Lake Simcoe was taken"ill at Grassi Point. and died by the roadside when a little farther on his way. His companions buried him beneazh a great maple, which then stood in what-is now the churchyard. and the cir- cumstances of his death andvburial gave rise to the belief that the place was haunted. This belief was sufficiently general to cause a half.-breed, who then carried the mail between Toronto and Penetang. to quit his job because he had to pass in the night. An Incident and Lesson There is another story in connection with - this pioneer cemetery that is not without its lesson for today. Half a century `or so ago an unfortunate difference arose be- tween the church pastor of that day and part of his flock. There was no allegation i of failure in pastoral duties or anything . involving moral wrong-doing.` It was just-: one of -those troubles that will spring up ati times in a congregation, and it led to a` church trial. Today the principals in the; difficulty aresleeping their last sleep be- side the building in which they once wor- shipped. How `little their quarrel oriother like quarrels of today must seem now that time for them has merged into_ eternity. T skin l\`I` Qivfk Tina nnnxnfnrur an in time for them has merged into. eternity. In this old S_ix_th Line Cemetery, as in others dating back to the same period, a considerable number of the graves that is mortal of some of those sturdy meii and patient women who came to Canada. from the British Isles between the twenties and fifties of the past century. To them the land left behind was notmerely Eng- land." fIreland" or Scotland. but g`ho1ne," and how fondly memory went back to the Old.-.Land beyond the sea is.shown by the frequency with -which one sees on tombstones native of. with the name of some Irish valley, Scotch glen or English` `shire following. For example. in the cem- `etery here dealt with there is lettered on lone monument to the memory of Annie Ross. wife of William Cowan. native of lCromarty." while over the grave of John I ern, States; Thomas Jack_. whose life span extendeti from 1822 to 1905; Francis Bar- xclny and Agnes Beattie; his wife; Charles Patterson are the words native of Dum- Cross, whose life journey began in 39 and frie-=.h'ire." There is in this same sacred spot. however, evidence that equally bind- ing heart ties are at last beginning to twine around the new home. The name of Car- lyle of old St. Thomas Ward is still fresh in the recollection of those whose memory goes back to the time when E. F. Clarke. R. J. Fleming and WarringlKennedy suc- cessively filled the Mayor's chair in Tor- onto. The first Canadin home of the Car- lyles was on the Penetang road. and. when the last call came to two of them it was` not to Mount Pleasantor the Necropolis their bodies -were borne, but to the old Sixth Line of Innisfil. So. -too. with an- other of the native born, `John S. Lucas. another in Toronto. -and to his infinite cre- dit applied a large part of same in paying debts long `since outlawed, and at the end of life s struggle he was laid among the friends of his youth and early manhood. Different Churches---0ne Community , The extent to which the community spirit was developed in old. Innisfil. regardless of differences in Church affiliations. is revealed to those who know by the inscriptions on headstones in three pioneer cemeteries alon Penetang Road--at the Methodist Stroud the body of John Long, who for yeans led the congregational singing at old Wesley; at the Sixth-lies that of his son.
