Day 128, Sunday, June 1 2025 - Halifax, Nova Scotia (Canada)
Old Burying Ground 1749-1844
In the summer of 1749, as part of the new settlement of Halifax, an acre of land was laid out as a burying ground beyond the palisade protecting the town’s southern edge.
A public cemetery receiving burials of persons of many faiths, its capacity was soon tested by a typhoid fever epidemic which killed over a thousand settlers in the winter of 1749-1750.
