Originally interned at the "old" cemetery, le cimetière de paroisse cette conception immaculée (Immaculate Conception). Confirmed, burial record. The bodies or "bones" from the old cemetery were exhumed and relocated to St Louis Cemetery from 1881-1882. My ancestor Alexis Hamel most likely amoung them.
His wife Marie Soulange Carpentier died in 1887, after the mass relocation so would not be here. Although, her parents are in addition to her husband. Newspaper articles of the period recall crowds of loved ones and mourners witnessing the event in horror. No doubt. There is supposedly a monument to these people here that reads to the effect of: "Here lie the bones of the bodies that were exhumed from the old parish cemetery." Or rather, " Ici rester les os des corps qui ont été exhumé du vieux cimetière de paroisse". I would love a photo of this.
