BURIAL NOTE:
In 1829 the first Union or Free meetinghouse, school and cemetery was located at what is at present day a half acre triangle piece of land behind the Cambridge OPP detachment, (Beaverdale W. to Queen Street W.) owned by the Wanner Mennonite Church.
According to Canadian-German Folklore, published by the Pennsylvania Folklore Society of Ontario, Volume Number 2 - 1967, page 28, around 1910, some of the graves at the gypsy Camp [Union meetinghouse] were removed to the Wanner Cemetery. Only Bechtel graves were opened. The unmarked graves of infants were not opened. Catharine, wife of Eli Clemens was not disturbed. Some years later Catherine Clemens' stone was moved to an empty spot in the present day Wanner cemetery.
