Elsie Perrin Williams Estate Cemetery - Windermere Rd., London, Ontario - Worldwide Cemeteries on Waymarking.com

A brief history from the website:

Architecturally, the principles of the Spanish influence upon the new house at Windermere took shape in the use of white stucco, Romanesque arch porticoes, heavily beamed ceilings, ceramic tiles around the fireplaces, leaded windows, and perhaps the most prominent feature – the juxtaposition of the simplistic white stucco exterior with black wrought iron grills and the exotic low sloping red tiled roof. Notwithstanding, the extensive and well-groomed grounds of Windermere complimented the house itself. Being golf enthusiasts, the Williams were founding members of the Thames Valley Golf Club, and had their own personal nine hole golf course laid out on Windermere grounds.
An interesting feature of the estate is the consecrated ground wherein both Williams are buried (Hadley died in 1932, Elsie in 1934). Within this area of the grounds are the stone plaques in memory of the Williams and their many, and much loved, dogs.
One plaque, commemorating a favourite dog sums up the loving dedication of this dog in simple terms: “Sempre Fidelis — Always Faithful”. The dedication of the Williams’ family, tremendous benefactors to the City of London, could also be summed up in those same simple words.
