This wonderful old stone with symbolic dove carrying a flower to heaven commemorates Samuel McCleery, who was a pioneer of New Westminster, Richmond, and Vancouver. Family and friends called his property along the North Arm of the Fraser overlooking the area now known as Richmond, the "Garden of Eden".
McCleery was active in logging, land clearing, and farming, with other family members taking on similar activities. The two gravestones visible beyond McCleery's, McMyn and Kidd, also mark Richmond pioneers and former close associates of Samuel. The old homestead in Vancouver is now the site of the McCleery Golf Course.
