Gravesite of German Workers

 Gravesite of German Workers is a small field containing the unmarked graves of 14 German railway workers who died of Cholera in 1854. It is located in on Harwood Rd in Harwood, just north of Cobourg. All left here is the plaque pictured above and below reminding us of these people who died here. I'm not sure the field behind the plaque is Potter's Feild, or where the actual graves are. Also, based on where the plaque is located, I'm assuming the field is private property, so please be respectful. I would love to know if the old wooden cross still remains standing somewhere in those trees.

 Gravesite of German Workers
in 1854, fourteen German immigrants who had been employed on the construction of the Cobourg and Peterborough Railway died of cholera on this property (lot 6, concession 8, Hamilton Township). They were buried in unmarked graves beside the nearby railway berm. In 1882, J.R. Barber, a one-time superintendent of the Railway, erected a wooden cross to mark the site. The inscription on the cross reads: "IN MEMORIAM fourteen GERMAN Labourers who DIED of CHOLERA 1854" and "Potter's Feild".
The sign was erected in 1987.
