The Catarqui Cemetery in Kingston Ontario was incorporated on 10 August 1850 and contains the final resting place of Canada’s first Prime Minister, Sir John A. MacDonald, as well as over 46 000 individuals and families. In recognition of its significance both locally and nationally, the cemetery received the formal designation from the Canadian Federal Government in 2012 as a National Historic Site.
Unsurprisingly in a cemetery of this age there are many monuments that show damage from natural or human forces. From 2010 to 2011 Queen’s University and CSMO worked in a non-profit capacity to demonstrate that untrained student volunteers could deploy an imaging technique, first developed at HP Labs in 2001, Polynomial Texture Mapping (PTM), to reveal inscriptions that were difficult or impossible to read with the naked eye, as well as other salient features on the headstones, such as decorations and tool marks. Over 60 students were trained, and approximately forty stones documented.
Efforts from 2013-2013 focused on integrating GPS and stereo photogrammetry to create very accurate (less than 1mm) geo-located 3D models. Emphasis was placed on demonstrating that stereo-photogrammetry could provide data of equal or superior quality to PTM with only a single trained operator. Unlike PTM, which records the change in surface contour, photogrammetry uses pairs of overlapping images to generate dense clouds of 3D measurements. In cases of weathered stones where only the faintest depression remains from the original inscription, or where patination or lichen-grown has reduced contrast, grey-scale Depth Mapping can be used to bring out the original text. In this technique the deviations from an ideal plane corresponding to the surface of the stone are assigned grey-scale values, e.g. white represents deep incisions and black the surface.

The Murder of Maggie Howie
The murder of Maggie Howie is told in one of the earliest songs written about Napanee. The original lyric is published on the Adolphustown-Fredericksburgh Heritage Website: sfredheritage.on.ca/MurderNapanee.htm.
The author is unknown. In the tradition of folk music, I have changed the lyric slightly to offer other details of the story and to allow the rhythm of the lyric to flow more easily with the tenor ukelele I am playing.
Maggie Howie, a 17-year old maid at the Tichborne Hotel in Napanee was brutally murdered by her former fiancee at the hotel, on March 28, 1882. The hotel, which later burned down, was located on the northeast corner of Dundas and John streets. Various accounts of the murder appeared in papers across Canada and the U.S.
Maggie Howie is buried in a family plot in the Cataraqui Cemetery, Kingston, Ontario not too far from the burial site of Canada's first Prime Minister, Sir. John A. Macdonald. May she always rest in peace.

John A. MacDonald: the Patriot Statesman
In Kingston, Ontario, at the old Cataraqui Cemetery, one could miss an unpretentious granite marker, engraved with a simple inscription: John Alexander MacDonald, 1815-1891, At Rest.
One would not suspect that this grave contains the remains of one of the great driving forces behind the creation of the Dominion of Canada. MacDonald was a talented, hard-working visionary who left two great legacies - the unification of British colonies in eastern North America into a single nation, followed by the expansion of this union across the continent to the Pacific and Arctic Oceans, bringing into existence the second largest country on earth.
With his legacy currently under attack, one must ask: “Who is John A. MacDonald?” and “Why was his leadership so important for the establishment of Canada?”

Bike Ride in Mount Pleasant Cemetery
March 18, 2010
My bike ride in Mount Pleasant Cemetery in Toronto, Ontario Canada. It's a brief portion of my bike ride from the entrance of the cemetery off the Beltline to the top of the hill west of the Mount Pleasant underpass.
I took the long way around, following the blue line until turning right at Prime Minister Mackenzie King's grave, then winding around Steve Stavros' massive monument at the Mount Pleasant Road entrance.
Then swoop down the road beneath Mount Pleasant Road to the west side of the cemetery and to the top of big hill.
It was fun.
