CEMETERY FOR WELLAND
The “Bald Farm” Purchased for a Site-Company Fully Organized
[Welland Tribune, 27 April 1906]
On Monday last, the sum of $1,000 was paid and ten acres of the Bald farm became the property of the Welland Cemetery Association as a site for a cemetery for the town of Welland. For many years, through wind and storm over roads almost impassable, funerals have been forced to make their way to Fonthill. Soon all this will be done and the location of a cemetery in the town of Welland will be a convenience and fill a long felt want. The situation is excellent-on that high piece of property on the west side of the road from Welland River to Welland Industrial Home and on the north side of Elgin street, within easy walk from the centre of the town. What more could be desired.
The officers are as follows
President-Mayor Sutherland
Vice Pres.-W.J. Best
Secretary-L.H. Pursel
Treasurer-Geo. C. Brown
Directors-G.W. Sutherland, W.J. Best, L.H. Pursel, L.C. Raymond, Geo. C. Brown, A. Lawrence, T.D. Cowper, W.G. Somerville, Hugh A. Rose and B.J. McCormick.
Grounds Committee-G.W. Sutherland, W.G. Somerville, D. Ross and A. Lawrence.
The principal movers in the matter were Mayor Sutherland, and Messrs. D. Ross, B.J. McCormick and Geo. C. Brown.
