Servos & Lincoln Cty I. Cem.'s

Sitting close to shore at the edge of St Catharines, one can only imagine what this property looked like 200 years ago. William only acquired this 67 acres 4 years before he died in 1862. He paid $4000 for the 67 acres in 1858. He left the entire estate to his brothers daughter Mary Servos. William is surrounded by a Victorian era iron fence restored in 2005. .....................................I have added another very sad gallery of a pioneer cemetery with no headstones. This cemetery has been posted on another site in the wrong place but recently found it behind a Ford dealership with only broken fencing. It is located beside the Body Shop of Learn Ford , 375 Ontario Street in St. Catharines. This cemetery was the location of the Lincoln County Industrial Home where about 80 residents with very little money were buried here between 1887 and 1910. All who were buried here had no family or friends to claim their bodies.The graves were only marked with numbered stakes that have long since vanished or in the ground. The Regional Municipal of Niagara have looked after it since 1970, but need to fix the fence and make a plaque with names. I will post when I find their names again. There are so much incorrect info for this place but mine is correct. It took awhile but I am happy I have found their names. R.I.P.....................This Home closed when the Linhaven Home for Seniors opened up down Ontario street.
