APPENDIX D LXIII 



Mrs. Williamson, who though full of work as President of the Women's 

 Auxiliary of the Augiicau Churoh, was able to give us her helpful in- 

 terest on many occasions, passed away, leaving the record of a full day's 

 work well done. Miss Edith Curzon, whose day of bright usefulness 

 and influence for good, whose ability, genius and faithfully-acquired 

 knowledge was but bearing its first fruit with a bright promise of the 

 future, was taken from us suddenly. She was drowned when bathing 

 in the G-eorgian Bay in August. 



The Society acknowledges with gratitude the first recognition of 

 its work by the Ontario Grovexmiment in the grant of $50 made for its 

 printing expenses in October last. With it the accompanying Transac- 

 tion No: 4 was printed, and has been widely distributed. A further 

 grant of $100 was passed at the last session, wdiich will enable the pub- 

 lication of a number of original records and papers now in our hands. 



A number of donations of books, papers, prints and original manu- 

 script notes have been received, full list of which will be printed in 

 the annual report.
