Mount Hope Cemetery
#1
So, I was researching the Abe Erb pub online and checking out their menu. I note they have an old map of Waterloo (1855) as the footer of almost every page. I note some of the street names have changed over time. EG Waterloo used to have a Duke St (Dupont). 

Of note, is the Mount Hope Cemetery. It appears to be at the current site of the Grand River Hospital. I am aware from past visits to Waterloo city hall that the GRH is sitting on land that was one time operated by the Seagram's as their stables. Or that is my recollection. 

Is anyone else aware of this little tid bit? Did we move an entire cemetery to the current location sometime after 1855? 

Interesting...
