In 1903 the Wisconsin Historical Society commissioned artist Edwin W. Deming to create this painting of Green Bay fur-trader Charles de Langlade and Wisconsin Indians helping the French defeat British troops serving under General Edward Braddock on July 9, 1755 near modern Pittsburgh. French and Indian fighters decimated Braddock's forces in an ambush attack. Mortally wounded, Braddock, pictured falling from his horse in the background, died several days later.

"In January 1800 or 1801 after an illness of two weeks Charles de Langlade died "and his remains were buried besides those of his father in the cemetery at Green Bay."

About 1835, bodies in the old cemetery were begun to be moved to Allouez Cemetery, and others to Baird's park, then a cemetery, where many remain to this day.
