were found many years ago on the terrace at the corner of 

 the Reiser Road and Potter Road. Silver brooches are said 

 to have been found with the bodies.

 came to be called "jack Berry's Town" stood where now is 

 the village of Gardenville.

 LINCOLN COUNTY, ONTARIO. 



NIAGARA TOWNSHIP. 



* Site No. 106. A mound was situated on the land of Dr. Trim- 

 ble, in the village of Queenston. It has been excavated. 

 The contents were given to a Museum at Niagara Falls. 



STAMFORD TOWNSHIP. 



*Site No. 107. A burying ground, perhaps an ossuary, was dis- 

 covered at the "sandpits" on the verge of the "Mountain 

 Ridge", between St. David's and Stamford village.. It was 

 excavated by contractors who were digging out sand, and 

 most of the contents were destroyed or scattered. Some 

 beautiful clay jars were obtained by Dr. A. L- Benedict, and 

 are now in the Museum of the Buffalo Historical Society. 

 Glass beads and other European articles were abundant. 



This was undoubtedly a Neuter burying ground. The 



village of which this was the cemetery has not yet been found. 



It is probably not far off , on the "Mountain Ridge". There is 



little doubt that either this site or the site at "Kienuka" (No. 



39) is the village of "Ounontisaston" in which Father Joseph de 



la Roche Dallion stayed in 1626. 



Site No. 108. A mound was situated in Victoria Park at Niagara 

 Falls. It was opened and its contents, I believe, are in a 

 museum in Niagara Falls.
