Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: A Boeing 707 prepares to land at Toronto International Airport past a pioneer cemetery between two runways. The old Fifth Line Cemetery is the resting place for early Irish settlers who came out by sailing ship; the first recorded burial is that of Charles Doherty, who dies in 1833, aged 17. Airport workers discovered the cemetery about 12 years ago. They cleaned it up and now maintain it during the summer.
