The bones were not found with the first construction.... when  the first buildings were put up.

 

The bones were found with this recent construction...

 

Could this  originally have been a burial ground?....  Then why were the bones not found at the time the first building was built?

 

-------------------------------------------------

 

There are other questions.

 

(1) How were the original natives treated after death?.... with reference to the  natives that lived in the area before first European settlement.

 

Or

 

(2) Are they the bones of explorers   before or during the time of Samuel de Champlain?

 

Or

 

(3) Are they the bones of missionaries  that the natives did not like?  Something similar to what happened to the Jesuits at Ste Marie among the Hurons, the current "Martyr's Shrine" in southern Ontario.

 

Or

 

(4) Is this the burial ground of a recent serial killer?... Does Ottawa or the RCMP have the equivalent of a unit that searches for modern-day serial killers? .

 

Or

 

(5) Are these bones the remnants of a slaughter plant for cattle or other domestic species?

 

Or???

It is likely it was a Methodist cemetary.

That church is long gone, although there is a Baptist church about two blocks away.

 

I suspect that when the existing building were going up (#62 was built in 1930, the one to our left about the same time, the one to the right in the late Fifties and renovated extensively in the Seventies) that the construction crews just decided there was no need to tell anyone and slow down Progress.

 

What they are digging up right now is the parking lot. Anything under the (newish)Royal Bank Building is long gone, because there is a three or four level parking garage under it.

The actual history of that area....  and what each construction crew found or   "Did not find"  would be very interesting.

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Or could someone write a book about  a maniac  who lived in this area....  or even the equivalent of "Jack the Ripper"...

 

They never did catch ... Good Old Jack....  and he could have gone just about anywhere.... Why not Ottawa?

 

Just a thought....  It is Ottawa....  a city  full of history....  

 

The location where the bones were found  is not that far from the Parliament  Buildings and close to the Rideau Canal...

 

A perfect place  for that unique  book.... fiction   or otherwise..

 

This find has got me thinking  .....( I did live in Ottawa for two years)

Sparks Street in Ottawa has a very interesting history.  (from the internet)

 

Early development on the east end... Historic buildings preserved

 

Close to the Rideau Canal

 

Close to the War Memorial

 

Parliamentarian Thomas D'Arcy McGee was assassinated at Sparks and Metcalfe in 1868.

 

Major corporate presence over the years.....

 

Closed permanently to traffic in 1867...  became a pedestrian mall almost 100 years after the assassination.... let alone Canada's 100 years of Confederation....

 

 

If it was a Methodist Cemetery.... Why not remove all of the bodies  before building?

When we first moved in Rogers messed up our internet so we were stealing a signal from the office directly across the street.

The Privy Council Office.

I was working at the RCMP (in the Commissioner's offices ) at the time and mentioned it to a few people. Didn't seem to bother anyone.

Who gave the green light for Elmwood to deflect the guilt from himself?

 

Are not we all in the same boat?
