OTHER IDENTIFICATION
Notes:
From the Cemetery's website:
"St. John's Norway occupies approximately 35 acres at the northwest corner of Kingston Road and Woodbine Avenue. In 1853 Charles Coxwell Small deeded three acres of his land to the Rt. Reverend John Strachan, Anglican Bishop of Toronto, for the construction of an church and churchyard to serve the rapidly growing community of Norway, which subsequently became part of Toronto.

Over the years, the cemetery grounds have expanded several times, reaching the current size in 1925. Today the cemetery has more than 50,000 gravesites and nearly 80,000 interments."
