This is a revisit of a cache in the Faded Markers Series. It is a nice cemetary and thought it needed to be "reborn". This series will mainly focus on older, near forgotten burial plots of pioneers in the Niagara Region and beyond. The goal of this series is not necessarily the length of the walk nor the difficulty of the find, but rather a simple reverence for those who came before us to shape our area.fore us to shape our area.
Located on the bank of a creek, members of the Schram, Tinlin, and several other local families are buried here. Records at St. John’s Anglican Church in Port Dalhousie note several burial ceremonies conducted by the Reverend, who referred to the cemetery as “the Fifteen” likely a reference to the nearby creek. The cemetery
was the site of a 2008 ceremony of heritage designation by the City of St. Catharines. A sign outlining the history of the cemetery and the military careers of several generations of the Schram family was erected. It includes the information that “some of those who were interred here were later moved to St. John’s Cemetery
(Port Dalhousie) and the Methodist Burial Ground (Maple Lawn Cemetery).”
