While digging the tunnel for the LRT the remains of 79 individuals were discovered. These early residents of Bytown were buried in Barrack Hill Cemetery located between Sparks, Elgin, Queen, and Metcalfe. This cemetery had been commissioned circa 1827 by Lieutenant Colonel John By. The remains will be relocated to the Beechwood Cemetery. Prior to that, visitation will be held on September 24 between 1pm and 3pm in the Resource Room of the Canadian Museum of History. Experts from the Paterson Group will be there answering questions. Molly has some: Who were they? What ages? Why were they missed? Were they buried deeper? Details here.
I will be going, if you can`t go but have questions let me know!
