APPENDIX F CXIX 
special business meetings were held, one of them to arrange for the 
third annual picnic, which was held at Niagara Falls and Lundy’s Lane 
and was attended, by members from our own town, also by those 
from Toronto, St. Catharines, Queenston and Lundy’s Lane. 
Our membership now numbers two hundred in good standing, 
although we have lost several members by death, one whom we specially 
valued, Mr. H. Paffard, long the Vice-President and a faithful friend to 
the Society, also an honorary member, Jas. Wilson, C.E., who had 
assisted us in many ways and whose early death we deplore, another, 
the noted literateur, Sir Jas. Le Moine. 
Another pamphlet, No. 21, has been published, being a reprint of 
No. 7, the Churches and other Historical Buildings of Niagara, with 
additions, and we are now printing two pamphlets which will be Nos. 
22 and 23 respectively; one the history of Fort Niagara and papers 
relating to Col. MacDougal of Niagara by the President, and the other 
“Lundy’s Lane and Some Graves there” by Ernest Green of Ottawa, 
one of our members. 
The President attended the Annual Meeting of the Ontario 
Historical Society at Brantford and Ohswekin, also by invitation the 
meeting of the American Historical Association at Buffalo, N.Y., which 
was attended by delegates from almost every State in the Union, mem- 
bers from Canada and even from South America; by special invitation 
also to see the presentation of pictures by John Ross Robertson to the 
City of Toronto valued at $25,000, and as many of these relate to 
Niagara, peculiarly interesting to us. The President was also called on 
during the year to read a paper to the Women’s Institute of Queenston, 
the Frontier Historical Society of Niagara Falls, N.Y., the Teachers’ 
Convention of Lincoln, the Women’s Canadian Club of Berlin, all on 
historical subjects. 
Our finances are in a healthy condition, as at our last Annual 
Meeting there was a respectable balance, although the expenditure had 
been larger than usual. The receipts from sale of pamphlets, catalogues, 
$40; members’ fees, $73; contribution box, $36. The expenditure was 
$384, of which $200 was for printing and postage, show cases $100. 
We have to thank the Provincial Government and County Council for 
the usual grants. The building has been open twice a week in summer, 
during camp time every day, and during the year 900 pamphlets had 
been distributed and there had been 1,000 visitors, the usual visit was 
made to the graveyards on 17th September. During the sixteen years 
of our existence we have printed in pamphlets or reports 1,185 pages, 
also last year a number of large cards with interesting points in the 
neighborhood with correct dates, also have placed in the vestibule a 
Proc. 1912. 9.
