Prospect Cemetery
There was an increasing need for non-sectarian burying grounds in the 19th century as the City was expanding westward. Toronto General Burying Grounds purchased a long and narrow plot of 42 ha from William Shields in 1887. Joseph Earnshaw of Cincinnati laid out the plans for the cemetery; the design of the roads took on a curvilinear fashion to allow vistas to continually open up to its visitors. It was named "Prospect" for its picturesque views, two ravines, a trout stream, and views of Lake Ontario and Humber River Valley.
National and local histories are remembered here: World War I Veterans' Plot along with the names of early settlers Rowntree, Silverthorne, Rice, Royce, Bull, Townsley and JEH MacDonald (of the Group of Seven).
