In 65 years, old Frank has seen many changes. In the early days it was the old 15-ib. ham. mer and wedge with which he dug into the ground. During the very bad winter months when the hard frost bitten ground could not be dug into, the bodies were stored in wh t has been traditionnlly called\he "Death House“ which now sits under the bright modern decor of the care- taker's lounge. Eventually a ten acre property was bought tor the am of $3,000; this same land today is valued at over $40,000. .The Riverside Cemetery as it is still called committed its first burial in 1893 with a three-yearNid child who had died ot diptheria; fmm then, many great family names of Weston have been finally laid to rest in Riverside, such as the Parts, MMfatts, Bull, Gaurd- house and'Holley to mention a few. Some of the members 01 the cemetery committee felt the need for I very large cemetery, and there wns some extremely eon- troverslel arguments committed to the minutes Before the finat acreage was settled upon. It I: interesting to note that among the most enthusiastic supporters of the large " sore property were the two local doctors and the undertaker. A man who has been concern- ed with the cemetery ever since 'ts beginnings is Frank Pearson who is now retired living com- fortably in his home in Weston. It was Frank's Uncle Edward who walked out of one of the early meetings of the, cemetery board; Uncle Edward was con- vinced that Weston should have a 25 acre cemetery, but Edward Pearson was finally reconciled when he was laid to rest by the front gate of the Riverside ceme- tery. Although it is only necessary to have three feet of earth above the shell, in Frank's day he had to dig down a good six feet ac- cording to the local regulations of the Dept. of Health. The change in depth came about dur- ing the early years of the war. when labor was short the Dept of Health allowed that it was good enough to have three feet of earth on top and this tem, porary regulation has never been changed. m. importance of this ven- ture is well indicated by the well known citizens who were anocinted with this early ceme- tery. In the council chamber of the new town hall Mrs. Jamel Cruickshan-k amrThomag Elliott held a meeting in the June at that year to promote a public company for the financing of I cemetery. Till that time, there were only two private cemeteries in Weston and in malt cases people were being buried by lonely farm house: in shallow graves. This unsatisfactory procedure which could have resulted in dangers to health as well as an awkward mess for . local census to ‘sort out, was obviously considered by the well to do of the com- munity to be entirely out of keeping with the new standing of Weston. Although cemetenes do not pay taxes they are still required to abide by I strict law of ethics which was recently embodied in thtiitittm, Fight Post-War Boom ll,t..h.tt.t.ttidtr!ytthtts New Dignity H In mammal»; I -i"teer' Wmmbh-a-MW Avid " boy's...

McMIllAN "We should run I cemetery for the convenience of the pub lie," commented Frank Pearson. “but I feel this recent commer- cialization may ruin the bust. ness." The present day care- taker. Joe Graham. agreed with Frank, "some of these cemeteries are selling plots which aren't even there, they are sending out salesmen to high pressure people into Mrying sometimes on the instalment plan." Mr. Frank Pearson who has: been with the cemetery ever since its beginning, now sits in comfortable retirement in his modest Weston home. Old Frank as he is affectionately called by Mr. Graham has seen many changes at the cemetery some of which are not to his liking. "l don't agree with the over commercialization of the cemetery business, l, think a cemetery should be run for the public's convenience." the Ontario Cemeteries Aet.With the rapid growth of commer- cialism which marked the post war growth of the cemetery business it was found that "State Side" pressure salesmanship was ruining the profession. Joe Graham who recently arr I rived from Durham. England.i accepted the job at the cemetery| as a challenge, in his two years! of service he has taken an ex- ceptional interest in his job which is shown in his well in-) formed comments. "One of the; biggest difficulties with matr" aging a cemetery in after all tho plots are full. Under the Ch1tarin: Cemeteries act it is required _ that after the ordinary mean<li of revenue have been exhausted " One of the many old Mon.. which at! In Riverside cemetery is the grav'e of George Pearson who was a brother of one of the original founders of the cemetery. Here Mr. l. Graham who is the present carnaker of Riverside, studies the old inscription which on the right face of flu "one gives a date of 1844. George Pearson’s brother was little put out at having such a small cemetery, originally he warned over 25 acres. Today Joe uses a pneumatic; drill to dig the traditional six feet. Instead of the old straps to let the shell down, a large mechanical device with straps on runners gently lowers the coffin 'without any manual ef- fort. Foundations for the head- [ stones are dug down to over six' feet. “You have -g"ot' tif" 332‘ deep to stop the ground thawi pushing over the stone." pointed; out the soft spoken north couo-) trymen. "It's interesting to note', the changes in fashion for graves, in the early days of this ceme-I tery with the "large victorian) families, extremely large plots; with large headstones were inl favor. but today the plots arel considerably smaller and the the cemetery still must acquire sufficient income to maintain the cemetery." _ __ "Yo do this," continued the enthusiastic. Joe. Graham,". a perpetual care fund has been organized where a percentage of the sole price of the lot is tu- vested to provide a continual intereut for maintenance." Under the Ontario Cemeteries net re- cords must be kept of who the plots were sold to and what um are involved. Also records of death giving the cause and where it happened must he kept strictly up to date for the regular in. spection ol the Department of Joe Graham is obviously very interested in his job. His situa- tion living almost in the centre of the cemetery with tombstones facing him from every window dotsn't in the least concern him; Joe is a sound practical man and as "long as the people out there don't mind" with Joe pointing out the window, "r don't see any reason why I should."
