Book excerpt: Excerpt from Collections of the New Brunswick Historical Society The New Brunswick Historical Society has taken part in several events of historic interest since the publication of the last number. One of these was the unveiling, on the afternoon of October 19, 1916, of the handsome bronze tablet marking the site of the old Suspension Bridge at the western end. The ceremony was performed by His Honor Lt.-Gov. Josiah Wood, who spoke reminiscently. He was preceded by Mr. George A. Henderson, President, who made a brief address, referring to the prompt response of the provincial government when the matter of the tablet was suggested to them. He also mentioned the objects of the Society in preserving information in reference to the past in the Province and slated how the Society had marked in one way and another matters of special significance. Other speakers were Hon. Geo. J. Clarke, Premier, Hon. J. B. M. Baxter, K. C., Attorney General, Mr. H. R. McLellan, Warden of the County, and Mayor R. T. Hayes of St. John. On July 1, 1918, at Annapolis Royal, N. S., a sundial was unveiled by His Honor Lieut.-Gov. McCallum Grant, of Nova Scotia. Other speakers were Mayor Alice, Prof. Koopman, of Brown University, Providence, R. I., A. L. Davidson, M. P., Mr. J. Plimsoll Edwards, President of Nova Scotia Historical Society, Justice Longley, a former President, Mr. Timothy O'Brien, Librarian of New Brunswick Historical Society, and the venerable Judge Savary. The memorial was erected by Col. R. C. Shannon, of Brockport, N. Y., to the memory of his ancestor, George Vaughan, who took part in the capture of Port Royal in 1710. On the afternoon of September 24, 1918, the beautiful bronze tablet, erected to the memory of Elias Hardy, was unveiled in the Court House auditorium by His Honor Chief Justice McKeown, who delivered an appropriate address.
