First of all, on behalf of the Board of directors of OPBG, I want to welcome those attending this evening., I will try in a few minutes to outline some of the history of the OPBG.
Early history is very scarce, but there remains one stone for an interment before 1800. It is that black stone for Isabella Bell, the young wife of Sgt George Bell a member of the 21st Grenadiers, who died in 1789.
The design and material of that stone is similar to many found in the Old Burying Ground in Halifax and throughout New England
The first indication of the site as cemetery was in 1784, where it was shown as a four acre plot in the large commons, north of what is now Euston St. There must have been earlier burial sites, but we have been unable to find any record of same.
The BG came into general use after 1800 with about 50 burials documented between 1800 and 1810.
How it was organized and administered in the early years is unknown . In 1826, a land grant was made to St Paul’s Anglican Church by Hon George Wright, who was acting Governor at the time, and my great-great grandfather. The land remained deeded to St Paul’s Church until the year 2000 when St Paul’s deeded the Cemetery to our organization, the Old Protestant Burying Ground Incorporated. The five original Protestant churches in Charlottetown assisted St Paul’s in it’s minimum maintenance , although the sextons of St Paul’s controlled the burials and opened and closed the graves and kept records. The charge for opening and closing a grave was 1 shilling for an adult and less for a child. After the currency changed to dollars, the amount was 80 cents
After some negotiations the Burying ground was used by all Protestant churches.
According to the local press through the years, every 30 or 40 years, the cemetery would become in dire need repairs, fencing and tidying up, and campaigns would be launched to restore it.
As we celebrate Canada 150, here at the Old Protestant Burying ground we celebrate the fact that this cemetery has been closed for almost 150 years, as of Dec 31st 1873, the year Prince Edward Island became part of Canada.. It is obvious that with this early closure date, we would not likely have Fathers of Confederation buried here, but we do have several mothers and fathers of the Fathers of Confederation, namely the parents of George Coles, John Hamilton Gray, Thomas Haviland , Edward Palmer and William Pope. We will visit some of these locations later on.
The current restoration program began in 1998 when then Mayor George MacDonald persuaded Rev Dr. Gordon Matheson to organize a committee to work on restoring the cemetery, and the rest is history, an active committee raised funds for the restoration, studied the history, compiled records of all the interment, it could document from various sources, so that what you see tonight is a well kept peaceful park like area with most stones erect. This is in place of what you would have seen 20 years ago, with the grounds growing up with bushes, many stones on the ground and broken, and the site known as a favorite drinking spot for certain people.
I want to take a few moments to talk about the stones. The majority of the stones are Wallace sandstone quarried from the site in Wallace Nova Scotia, this is the same material used in Province House and Confederation Center. There are a lot of stones of white marble, which in the thinner slabs were not very durable. People are interested Vaults and sarcophagi. The individual Sarcophagus is simply a box type monument on top of a grave. Some people expect there is a body inside the sarcophagus but this is not the case, there are several sarcophagi , some of which we will visit on the tour. We know of three vaults and there may be more. These were underground rooms in which the bodies were interred. Other monuments were various shapes of slabs and shafts. There are some table stones, which are similar to sarcophagi except they are not closed in on all sides.
As part of our research and education about the OPBG, we have researched various sources and have compiled a list of over 3200 burials, although we believe some 4 to 5000 burials have taken place .
I hope I have raised your interest so that you will want to purchase a book we have published on the history of the BG, entitled Who Departed This Life, a phrase you will see on many of the tomb stones here. They are available from at a price of $20.

PORTRAIT OF LIEUTENANT-COLONEL GEORGE TAYLOR DENISON I
GEORGE THEODORE BERTHON, O.S.A., R.C.A.
Colonel George Taylor Denison of Bellevue (1783-1853) set the standard for loyalism, military involvement, procreative energy and worldly success that succeeding generations of Denisons would aspire to. His exploits in the War of 1812 and his founding, financing and commanding of York's first cavalry unit in the 1820s led to his promotion to the Lieutenant-Colonelcy of the First West York Battalion in 1838 and, after the Militia Act of 1846, to the command of the 4th Battalion of Toronto Militia, which he held until his death. In this portrait, Berthon has depicted Denison in the uniform of the York Dragoons of the 1820s. By that stage of his life, property through his marriage to Esther Lippincott, receipt of the bulk of his father's estate, and his own astute business dealings had brought under his control vast land holdings in York and neighbouring districts occupied by more than a hundred tenant farmers. Bellevue, his Georgian manor, complete with farmland, a horse farm and orchard, sat on a sizable portion of the 556 acres of the town of York he eventually owned. An original member of the Family Compact, Denison was appointed one of four magistrates superintending local civil administration prior to Toronto's incorporation in 1834, and afterward was alderman for St. Patrick's ward for ten years. His support of the Anglican Church culminated in the endowment of St. John's-on-the-Humber whose exclusive graveyard is by now the last resting place of hundreds of Denison family members. Described by a contemporary as a bluff, hale, strongly built man, Denison married four times and fathered thirteen children, outliving three of his wives and six of his offspring. The surviving sons were trained as lawyers or for military careers and all his children were imbued with a strong sense of their loyalist heritage and the obligations they must assume as leading citizens of the community. At his death in 1853, George Denison of Bellevue was one of the wealthiest men in Toronto, leaving an estate valued at more than £200,000. We would like to thank freelance historian, Jon Reid, for contributing the foregoing essay.

Colleen Fitzpatrick - The Unknown Child of the Titanic
Of the 328 bodies recovered by the salvage operation of the SS Titanic, just one was that of a child. His identity was unknown for nearly a century until 2002, when Dr. Alan Ruffman and Dr. Ryan Parr announced that they had identified the remains of the “Unknown Child”. But was this identification correct?
Hear how we resolved the controversy so that the Unknown Child of the Titanic was unknown no longer.
Speaker: Colleen Fitzpatrick, PhD, is the author of three best-selling books in genealogy, and has been recognised for her innovative forensic science approach to genealogical research.
Recorded: 20 April 2015 at Auckland Libraries
