Spoke today with local historian, Joanna Rickert-Hall, who told me that the site of the Grand River Hospital was never used as a cemetery. She was uncertain whether there was a cemetery in Waterloo before the Erb St Mennonite Cemetery opened in the early 1850s. She said she would let me know if she found out anything more about burials in Waterloo prior to the opening of the Mount Hope Cemetery.
