Thornhill Community Cemetery is located to the south of St. Luke's Roman Catholic Cemetery, at the north-east corner of John Street and Church Lane in Thornhill. It was established as a non-denominational burial ground in 1867. It also encorporates some graves moved from a small Methodist cemetery on Yonge Street. The cemetery is still active, but burials at this time are limited to existing plot holders. The oldest burial in the cemetery is that of Matthias Sanders, who fell in the battle of York in 1813 and was re-interred in Thornhill Community Centre when it opened. Also of note is the northeast section of the cemetery, or "Pauper's Corner", where the remains of 20 or so inmates of the former Langstaff Jail Farm, which stood at the corner of Yonge Street and Highway 7, are interred. There is nothing to mark these graves, likely those of indigents who died at the Jail Farm and had no family to claim them.
