Description
This is number thirty-three out of forty-six in the Canoe Lake Paddle as numbered along the path of the paddle. This was the walking to the Mowat Cemetery portion of that pilgrimage. Tom took a picture of the the gravestone of James Watson exactly like I did a century or so later. Tom's grave is located about 8.5 metres from the place where both he and I were standing. Tom Thomson was "temporarily" buried in Mowat Cemetery on July 17, 1917. I believe Tom is still there but that is just my opinion.
Tom and I both photographed the featured stone marker for James Watson and it reads:
"In Memory of Ja’s Watson The First White Person Buried at Canoe Lake. Died May 25 1897 being one of about 500 employed at this Camp by the Gilmour Lumbering Co. Aged 21 yrs
Remember Comrades (when passing by)
As you are now so once was I
As I am now so you shall be
Prepare thyself to follow me."
