The Cemetery and Cultural Memory: Montreal, 1860-1900
|
| Abstract |
The author researched seventeen hundred individuals who lived in Montreal and surrounding villages in the latter half of the nineteenth century to study who was being commemorated and who was not being memorialized at death. Using a selection of twelve surnames from archival data representing French Canadian Catholics, Irish Catholics and British Protestants, the author reconstituted families to identify their kinship ties and determine their situation in life. The author concludes that the presence or absence of these individuals in the cemeteries' landscapes depends on different commemorative practices influenced by religion, culture, gender, status and age.
