APPENDIX B. XLVILI 
monthly meetings have been held, the chief topic of discussion having 
been the advisability of putting markers at points of interest in the 
vicinity. This has long been felt an imperative duty, as the recollec- 
tion of these spots is fast fading from the memory of most of the 
inhabitants, and we rejoice to be able to say that this year we have 
carried out this intention. Seven spots of historic interest now have 
markers of Queenston stone, three feet high, 18 x 18 inches, 
appearing above the ground a foot and a half, with sloping 
face for the inscription. The points so marked are: Ist. The buriai 
place of Sir Isaac Brock, at Fort George: 2nd. The site of Navy 
Hall; 3rd. Military Hospital and Indian Council House; 4th. Gleaner 
Printing Office and Masonic Hall; 5th. Government House; 6th. Spot 
where bodies of soldiers were found at the scene of battle, 27th May, 
1813; 7th. Count de Puisaye’s House. There are many other spots of 
historic interest, which we hope may yet be marked, in however humble 
a manner. 
As regards our historical room, many additions have been made, 
and our collection grows more valuable. Many visitors have shown 
much interest in it, but the chief want is a building for the sole pur- 
pese of holding our collection. 
We have published since our last report, No. 7, Historical Build- 
ings, with illustrations, containing St. Mark’s Centennial, a poem by 
Rev. J. C. Garrett; Locust Grove, by C. F. Ball; Frontier Churches 
(a reprint), and short accounts of Fort Mississagua, Old Jail and Court 
House, Navy Hall, French Count’s House, by Janet Carnochan. No. 
8 is in the hands of the printers, which will be devoted to family history 
of early days of Niagara. Two hundred and forty-five copies of our 
publications have been distributed during the year; some were sold, 
but most were given to members, the press, or others interested in 
historical matters. We exchange with fifteen societies. 
Delegates attended the annual meeting of the Ontario Historical 
Society, and a paper was read by the President of our Society on 
“Graves of the Niagara Peninsula.” Copies have been made and 
framed of over thirty early settlers, including such names as Secord, 
Servos, Ball, Clement, Clench, Whitmore Field, Ten Brock, Hamilton, 
etc. John Ross Robertson kindly bound for us our old Niagara papers 
in three volumes; these include copies of eighteen different Niagara 
papers, in some cases only one number, in others many, published since 
1795: 
Our officers are :— 
Patron—Wm. Kirby, F.R.S.C. 
President—Miss Carnochan.
