Tombstone photographs taken at Lakeview Cemetery in Midland, Simcoe County. This is a partial record of the cemetery rather than a complete listing of burials.

George E., who drowned in the wreck of the Bannockburn, is buried here. The Bannockburn was a 245-foot-long, 1,620-ton steel steamer built in 1893 at Middlesbrough, Scotland, by Sir Raylton Dixon and Company.

On November 21, 1902, the Bannockburn left the Canadian Northern elevator at Port Arthur bound for Midland, Ontario, on her last trip of the season, loaded with 85,000 bushels of wheat.

The ship was sighted that evening by the steamer Algonquin. She was never seen again. The Bannockburn and her crew of 20 had vanished.
