The Thompson Family is buried on a hill beside the landfill. According to all reports, the burial of David is something of a mystery. Some claim he was buried just south of his wife Elizabeth. No stone marks his grave. The stone of Elizabeth was vandalized in 1970. The white cornerstones and oron cahins and ornaments were placed there in the 1940's by Kenneth McNeil Wells, a writer and his wife Lucille an artist. On this site, there once was a Baptist Church and Cemetery. The church was moved to Bass Lake Road and the cemetery ceased to operate. These 4 Graves are the only remaining signs of it's existence. It is listed in burial records as "Two Lone Plots"
All information comes from the Simcoe Co Archives and the book "The Story of Oro" and other sources. It is also listed in burial records as Abandoned, roadside plots.
