To Treasure All These Things In Our Hearts

Terry Murphy and Michael Johnson

The role of St. Andrew's parishioners in the building of Oakville, from its earliest days to the mid 20th century. Pioneer cemeteries are treasure chests and time=travel machines. Researching St. May's Catholic Cemetery in Oakville has uncovered a legacy of largely untold stories about ordinary people who lived remarkable lives. As they worked hard to fulfill their dreams for a better life, they triumphed over the harsh struggles of early Canadian life, as well as epidemics and world wars. Illustrated with 155 photographs, mostly in colour.
