In 1888 Cst. William Sache moved to the North Bay area and became a pioneer resident in Widdifield Twp serving on the Twp council and school board. He died on the 17th of February 1924 and was buried in Union Cemetery in an unmarked grave
The mystery surrounding the burial place of an 18th-century North West Mounted Police constable from North Bay has been solved.
He paid $50 to be discharged early from his five-year term of enlistment so he could return home to work on the family farm near Port Hope, Ontario. His grave was found because part of the RCMP act is that graves of former members are inspected yearly. "We make sure the graves are kept in good condition, and so veterans have taken this duty over from RCMP," said Glen Oickle President - RCMP Veterans Association -Georgian Bay Division.
Finding the unmarked grave has been the passion of former RCMP member John McIntyre for three years now. The RCMP veteran checked graves in this area and knew he was missing Cst. Sache because the grave was unmarked. He knew it was in Union Cemetery and was determined to find it. "There's are so many of them here. It meant something to them, and adds something to us," said McIntyre."Oh it's wonderful," she said with a broad smile on her face. "My mother thinks he joined the Northwest Mounted Police because his great great grandfather was an Irish Dragoon from Ireland. He was at the Battle of Waterloo. His father was in the Battle of Crimea.""it was pretty meagre conditions.
McMillan says Sache helped subdue the Northwest Rebellion, a "dark time" in our history that "should never ever have happened."
