Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Workmen uncover human remains on bloor St. While excavating at 38 Bloor St. W. yesterday afternoon workmen unearthed the remains of a human being. Old residents in the vicinity declare that the premises upon which the bones were found was at one time a potter's field and that about 50 years ago; following a cholera epidemic; many bodies were hastily interred at that spot. The photograph here shows the hole from which the remains were taken. In the absence of identification the bones were re-interred.
