[The Montmartre Cemetery]
— Histoire de Paris —
Au dix huiti?me si?cle, ce terrain sert d'acc aux nombreuses carri?res de pl?tre de la colline. Transform? en fosse commune pour les victimes des ?meutes sous la R?volution, il garde cette vocation de n?cropole, d'assez sinistre m?moire, sous le nom de "Cimeti?re de la Barri?re blanche", les parisiens exil de la capitale apr la fermeture de tous les cimeti?res intra-muros pour raison d'hygiene, y sont inhum dans les conditions d?plorables. Officiellement ouvert la 1er janvier 1825, le Cimeti?re de Nord est dormais prot?g? contre les pilleurs de s?pultures; il perd ainsi en 1856 l'un de ses conservateurs, M. de Vaulabelle, inventeur d'un syst?me de pi?ges avec mise ? feu, victime de son devoir pour s'?tre envoy? une d?charge mortelle en pleine poitrine![Translated by Google Translate with modifications:
