The Kindree Cemetery

What can I say about this enchanted children’s cemetery.  Well, let me start first with it’s history. 

A burial ground for children of Nathan and Mary Kindree, this cemetery remained forgotten until the early 1990’s when it was found by a housing developer in the area. It lays nestled between trees and next to a tributary of Sixteen Mile creek. The stones are a testament to the difficulty of life in the early nineteenth century. The weathered stones, in some cases incomprehensible are reminders of the pioneer Kindree family, that settled here in the 1820’s. The Kindree’s have their origins in Wales and their travels saw them journey from New Jersey through Niagara and then finally to this rural area now within the boundaries of Mississauga. The gravestones show that the children died between 1829 and 1839 – three girls died from tuberculosis, the causes of the other deaths are unknown. The parents of the deceased children, are buried elsewhere.  Nathan and Mary Kindree had a total of 12 children, five of which survived and raised their own families in the same area. The other seven children are buried within this small cemetery.

So, I spend a lot of time at this cemetery as it is very close to where I live.  I have always felt the children needed company.  I usually go there during special holidays like Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter to be sure they know they have not been forgotten.

 When I first joined the paranormal group, I met one of the members there as she had expressed an interest in seeing it.  We enjoyed a nice visit and she had brought her digital recorder to see if she was able to capture anything.  It is important to note, we were totally alone.  There is a main busy road at the entrance to the cemetery but there were absolutely no children present or close by.
