In common with the rest of rural Ontario, the first burials were often made on the homesteads, some of these plots in time growing to become community graveyards.

It was gradually supplanted by Maple Grove in the early twentieth century.

Settlement of the area began in 1818 when it was part of the Richmond Military Settlement, supervised by Col. George Thew BURKE.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBURKE settled here with the 99th-100th Regts. Irish units that were disbanded here after service in the War of 1812. Many of the soldiers settled in the western townships of Carleton County, especially Goulbourn, in which Richmond itself is situated. Settlement of the Hazeldean community proceeded very largely by a process of chain migration, in which one settler was followed to Canada by friends and relatives, whose friends and relatives in turn followed them. Individuals and individual families came, too, but they were outnumbered by those who came in groups and those who came to join friends and relatives already here.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGoulbourn Township is fortunate to have a municipal council that takes its legal responsibilities for the upkeep of its pioneer graveyards seriously. The SCHARF and Union Cemeteries, along with the SHILLINGTON Cemetery further west, were rescued from decay in the 1950s and are a worthy monument to that township's pioneers\u003c\/em\u003e.' - Bruce S.
