Alright, the plot thickens. BrianT, the links you provided state that the person in charge of the cemetery was John Hoffman. You will note, his name appears on this map. The rest of the information on the links contradict each other.
Perhaps this map existed as a proposal for where the cemetery would be located and was not actually ever started, as your Waterloo links seem to suggest the actual cemetery was incorporated 12 years later in 1867 (incidentally the year of confederation). The Kitchener link suggests the cemetery was created in 1868 and referred to as the Greenbush cemetery and not named Mount Hope until 1872.
Panamaniac, thanks for your post as well. I would be interested to learn what your friend knows.
