Of the original forty-one the names of only four can now be found in 

 the vicinity, though descendants of several others may be found under 

 other names. 



The first on the list, Andrew Heron, was the secretary and treasurer of 

 nearly all the period of twenty years. Robert Addison was the first 

 minister of St. Mark's. Silvester Tiffany was the printer of the " Constel- 

 lation," which followed the " Upper Canada Gazette." Then follows 

 another list, continued down to 1820, of thirty-four names, making 

 altogether seventy-five, in which we recognize other names.

In this list we find the familiar names of Butler, Claus, Dickson, 

 McNabb. That of Swayzie has been made familiar in the name of 

 a delicious russet apple only found in this vicinity and probably first 

 grown on the farm of this patron of our library. Dr. West was from 

 Fort Niagara, and ten names on this list are quite familiar to us yet. 



Now follows the account of the first annual meeting held on 15th 

 August, 1800, when it was 



" Resolved, that Andrew Heron and Martin McClellan be made com-
