The 175-year-old Union Cemetery is the topic of the Oshawa Historical Society’s September Speaker Series on Tuesday, September 15.
The Oshawa Museum’s executive director Laura Suchan and curator Melissa Cole will share “untold stories” from Union Cemetery, including murder, fraud, success, and clairvoyants.
Union Cemetery is located on what was the border of East Whitby and Whitby Township, today the Town of Whitby and the City of Oshawa, just east of Toronto.
The presentation will take place at 7:00 p.m. at the Oshawa Public Library, McLaughlin Branch Auditorium, at 65 Bagot Street, Oshawa. Admission to the Oshawa Historical Society Speaker Series is $3 or free for members.

You should perhaps contact the Oshawa Historical Society to find out if the lecture will be recorded. As for your Perry family, I recommend contacting the Scugog Shores Heritage Centre and Archives in Port Perry, Ontario – http://www.scugogshoresmuseum.com/index-heritage.php. The Lake Scugog Historical Society in Port Perry may also be able to help you – http://lakescugoghistoricalsociety.com/. Good luck!
