Description	:	Information from Township of Galway-Cavendish Harvey; The Township of Galway-Cavendish amalgamated with the Township of Harvey in 1998. At that time the Cemetery was already long closed, actually considered “abandoned” because it had fallen into disrepair and the settlement was no longer there. The Cemetery was located in Galway-Cavendish and the settlement of Silver Lake straddled the old “Bobcaygeon Road” which roughly follows County Road 49. It was partly in Victoria County when it existed. Local citizens approached Council and contributed to the monument holding the stones that were broken and fallen after the Cemetery was all but forgotten... Read More	Information from Township of Galway-Cavendish Harvey; The Township of Galway-Cavendish amalgamated with the Township of Harvey in 1998. At that time the Cemetery was already long closed, actually considered “abandoned” because it had fallen into disrepair and the settlement was no longer there. The Cemetery was located in Galway-Cavendish and the settlement of Silver Lake straddled the old “Bobcaygeon Road” which roughly follows County Road 49. It was partly in Victoria County when it existed. Local citizens approached Council and contributed to the monument holding the stones that were broken and fallen after the Cemetery was all but forgotten and the Council of the day in Galway-Cavendish approved taking care of the closed cemetery. When the Townships amalgamated in 1998, the Council at that time agreed to continue maintenance of the Silver Lake Cemetery. History of Silver Lake: The cemetery is located on what was the Bobcaygeon Road. Today, it is County Roads #49 & #121. The first community along the road north from Bobcaygeon was Silver Lake. Where the road touched Little Silver Lake, a pioneer settlement grew up in the late 1850s. All lots along the road were free-grants and hence were occupied as soon as settlers could locate them. The early settlers included a number of retired pensioners from the British Army. Silver Lake flourished due to its proximity to the Bobcaygeon Road. The community had several hotels, a store, post office and school. A local sawmill was the only industrial structure. The Silver Lake Post Office, opened in 1859, closed and re-opened 4 times until its permanent closure in 1927. The arrival of the railway at Fell‘s Station, Burnt River and Kinmount decimated the Silver Lake Settlement until it became a ghost hamlet. The only remaining symbol of Silver Lake is the abandoned Silver Lake cemetery. Few tombstones remain to mark the once thriving settlement of Silver Lake. (Courtesy: Kinmount Friends)
