They will be joined on the tour by famous figures from Oakville's past including Town founder William Chisholm and his wife Rebecca and earlier settler, Esther Thomas. Points of inter­ est in St. Jude's Cemetery include Oakville's earliest gravestone (dated 1811, 16 years before the founding of Oakville), and " C l e o p a t r a ' s Needle," the tallest free standing mon­ ument in Oakville.
