Inscription. In 1824 Timothy Street deeded one acre of his land to trustees of the nearby Presbyterian Church of Scotland, one of the earliest congregations in the area to serve Streetsville as a Protestant burying ground. The first established cemetery in the village contains the graves of many of Streetsville's, Toronto Township's and the neighbouring townships' pioneers. the "Scotch Burying Ground” continued to serve Streetsville and the surrounding area until 1891 when the Streetsville Cemetery Company established a new community burial ground on the east side of the Credit River.
