Desjardins Canal, near Dundas, Ontario, Canada

James Brown born about 1821 and died about 1850 near Dundas, Ontario. James was buried in a common grave on the north bank of the Desjardins Canal. Appears to be a peaceful place to rest. RIP James.
The Desjardins Canal, named after its promoter Pierre Desjardins, was built to give Dundas, Ontario, easier access to Lake Ontario and the Great Lakes system of North America. The Canal opened in 1837. Although a technological achievement and a short term commercial success, the canal was soon eclipsed by the railway, and Dundas by neighbouring Hamilton.
