cemeteries in the area. The
rst one was at the Old
Anglican Church. The
Methodists and
p'resbyterians were buried

ohnston's farm on the north
side of the Mill Road, 13
mernbers of a family, reputed
to be all Jewish and relatives
of the Harry Homes Custard
family; " named the old
Caldwell Cemetery situated
on the line fence between the
Bayfield Building Centre and
property owned by Arnold
Makins. In. 1881 a group of
Men got together and formed
the Bayfield Cemetery
Company and got together a
constitution. Andrew Bronson
bought the first lot for 53.00
The first person to be buried
there was Mrs. Rathwell.
Harry read of a few
epitaphs found on the tom-
bstones. Most were quite
hilarious. The first sexton in
Abe Bayfield Cemetery was
lames Sturgeon (the writer's
grandfather) from 1881 to
1904. The first annual meeting
was held on Wednesday.
January 10, 1864 in the Old
School House.
Harry read some excerpts
from the minutes of the past
115 years and in one• instance
veryone was summoned to a
bee to clean up the cemetery.
fn 1880 the annual meeting
took place in the Orange Hall,
at times the meeting was held
Outdoors at the Cemetery. In
18$1 a small building was
stilt to house the tis at the
Cemetery. Mr. Corner and
r. Woods nominated and
Seconded James Sturgeon as
;Ole first sexton.
In 1891 a gentleman was
;old to pay up for his lot at
once or it would be sold to
another party. In 1898 trees

cemetery. In 1920 autos would
be allowed at all funerals into
the cemetery, but still no
horse and buggies were to be
allowed. In 1925 the com-
mittee was looking into the
purchasing of a lowering
device and decided to pur-
chase 40 rods of fence and
enough barbed wire to go
along the top and the
necessary posts to complete
the fence.
In 1929 notations were
made to the fact that all lots
were to be paid for when sold
and all graves paid for when
ordered. In 1930 the Board
decided to bury the man on
the south side of the grave;
the women next and then the
children next to her. That
practise is still carried on
today. In 1932 a certain
gentleman was given a lot

From 53.00 for a plot in 1861
to the cost of $80.00 today. it
would appear that inflation
has also reached the
Cemetery. The fee for
opening the grave in the early
years was 52.00 for adults and
51.00 for children 12 years and
under ... today the fee is
560.00. It costs to live and it
costs to die.
The president of the Board
for 1976 is Arthur Peck and
the secretary -treasurer is
Reg Wilson. The cemetery is
now self supporting but was
not always. so. In 1939 gravel
was sold off the property at a
price of 15 cents a yard and
helped to get the board on its
feet. (No gravel is sold now)
Mr. Baker was thanked for
his very interesting talk,
