The Earliest Settler Cemeteries in the Ottawa Valley

[@razor2yourwrists]

Lived in Ottawa my whole life and never knew this. Very informative 👏

That was interesting. When I was a baby in 1954 I lived accross the street west from McDonald's burial ground. My interest in the Ottawa Valley grew in the past few years. I enjoy watching and learning . Thanks Rick and Andrew

As fascinating as ever. I visited the Saint-James Cemetery about 15 years ago and was quite fascinated by it.

Thanks Dave, it’s a pleasure to work on this and have something meaningful as a project. There is so much to cover! - Andrew

Fascinating to see and hear about my ancestors (D. Wells, nee Routliffe)!

Can you (or have you?) do a video on Billing’s Estate?

[@barblc3202]

when they moved from MacDonald Gardens cemetary to Beechwood Cemetary, they only moved the graves with headstones

[@Foosidol]

Why would they do this in winter?

Philemon Wright was my cousin, but then he married my aunt and became my uncle.

Classic small town scenario!
