Sandy Hill Cemetery Transcription of Those Whose Bodies Were Never Claimed
We’ve all heard there was a burying ground in the Sandy Hill area of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada in the mid 1800’s. The burying ground was moved in the early 1870’s and the bodies were re-buried at other cemeteries, Beechwood Cemetery and Notre Dame Cemetery just to name a couple. The area where the old burying ground was became known as MacDonald Park. One day in the early 1900’s, a terrified boy ran by a man walking his dog. The boy was crying. When the dog-walker asked the boy what is wrong, the boy merely pointed in a direction behind the man. The man turned and looked to see a bigger boy coming at the other boy with a skull in his hand. The man asked the bigger boy where he got such a thing, and the boy answered there were lots in the ground in MacDonald Park, and “I have nine more like this at home. Would you like me to get you one?” It was a known fact to the people of the area that bodies whom nobody claimed were known to come to the surface from time to time. Coffins and bones were re-buried. What happened to the grave markers that were at Sandy Hill?
Below are the names of people that were once buried at the Sandy Hill cemetery up to 1873 and whose bodies were not claimed by anyone when it was time to close down the cemetery. Either the family could not afford to move them, didn’t want to, or had moved out of the area. Sometimes the surviving family members were no longer surviving, and so there was just no one to claim the deceased. This information comes from the City of Ottawa archives. If I put in any notes myself, they will appear in red font, or highlighted in yellow. This information is being recorded for your use as well as my own. I put a question mark at the end of the word if I could not make it out for sure, and in the middle of words when I could not make out the letters.
You’ll read about
• the woman who was pregnant at the time of her husband’s death, and then even her baby died not a year after it’s birth. Makes you wonder if the husband had lived, if life would have been better for her, and the baby might have lived.
• The father who was left with all the children to raise.
• The family who lost children in different towns over the years. So “In Memory…”does not always mean the body is beneath the stone, merely a memorial to those who can’t be here with the living.
• The parents who lost 3 children in 30 days.
• How the common practice at the time was to list the military rank of the men connected to the deceased, on the deceased’s head stone.

150 TRAVELLER, Reuben, A native of London, England, departed this life Feb. 14, 1861, age 73 years. When Nelson fought at Trafalgar and fell, This ship boy was afloat in active service, Mid logging calms, light breezes and stiff gales, Hymned Debden’s songs and buffeted the waves, Throughout the drama of a lengthened life. Mid ocean waves, that was Ethopian shores, As when he roughed it on the ocean seas, While Mur’dros warfare waged in troublous times, T’was his to tell, Since then in various climes, and various ways, Shared fickle fortunes favors, Sinking mid quicksands, stranded upon rocks, By trade winds borne – by eastern scenery fed, Drenched by the spray of breakers, sun ahead. Now heedless of what currents, winds and tides, His watch and ward below waiting the whistle, Call to rigout, stud sails, lower and aloft, To range in grand review time then no more, Worlds on worlds, the witness of Christ the Lord, The one despised, despairing? righteous judgement.
His body was moved to Hull, Quebec.
