APPENDIX F CV 



The one outstanding fact which overshadows all others in the 

 Society's annals during the past year is the passing away of our Pres- 

 ident, Mrs. Thos. Ahearn. Mrs. Ahearn was elected President in 

 1903, remaining in office until November 1914. During those years 

 she gave generously of her time and talents for the welfare of the 

 Society, and will long be held in loving remembrance. 



In looking over the records we find that two public, one special, 

 four general and eleven executive meetings were held during the year. 



In June 1914, the Ontario Historical Society held its Annual 

 Meeting in Ottawa, with headquarters at Chateau Laurier. This 

 Society was represented by Mrs. Walter Armstrong, Mme. Rheaume 

 and Mrs. Redmond Quain. 



The opening meeting of the Society was held on October 9th, 

 when Mr. Clarence Warner delivered an address on "Canada if 

 Germany should win." In November at the general meeting, Mrs. 

 Walter Armstrong gave an account of the annual meeting of the 

 Ontario Historical Society, and Mrs. Simpson, one on the Peace 

 Celebration and the celebration of 100th Anniversary of the battle 

 of Lundy's Lane held at Niagara Falls, Ontario, July 25th. 



The Transactions of the year consisted of a series of papers on 

 French treaties in their relation to Canada: 



St. Germain-en-laye Miss M. Casey. 



Treaty of Rhyswick Mme. Gerin. 



"Treaty of Utrecht Mme. Rheaume. 



Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle Mme. Leliévre. 



The Society was instrumental in having erected on Nepean 

 Point, through the kindness of the Honourable Robert Rogers, and 

 with the co-operation of Mr. Thos. Ahearn, an historical relic — one 

 of the International Boundary Posts in use between the River St. 

 Croix and the St. Lawrence to mark the boundary between Canada 

 and the United States. The post was a gift to the City of Ottawa from 

 Dr. W. F. King, Director of the Dominion Observatory, and given 

 by the City into the care of the Women's Canadian Historical Society. 



On the 3rd of June, 1914, the late Mrs. Thos. Ahearn turned the 

 first sod for the foundation stone of the monument erected on Nepean 

 Point in memory of Champlain. 



A testimonial was presented to Mrs. J. B.Simpson in acknowl- 

 edgment of her valuable service as Rec. Secy, for a period of six 

 years. Mrs. Simpson having been appointed English Secretary to 

 the Landmarks Association was unable to give her time to the 

 Historical Society. 



Mrs. Braddish Billings was appointed to represent this Society
