UNVEILING MARTIN MEMORIAE MR. AND MRS. WILLIAM CAMPBELL. DUNTROON , ---.. -... ,.,--. A .. V . _ Mr. and Mrs. CampbeiHtave*b'eenprivil- .eged' to see a great change in the township ' of Nottawasaga in particular` and the Prov-| ince and Dominion in general. When ._' Paisley Campbell came from his native; heath in ; the early thirtia of last century, [transportation across the ocean was by sail-I ling vessel while the journey from Quebec-` was made by small boats, ox cart and by] tramping through the bush; At the time; there were but few settlers in and about the Scotch or McNab's Corners, later` Bow- more and yet later Duntroon. The country was a forest but the men and women from Auld Scot-i_a were not daunted and without hesitation` took up the white man's bur-' den" of convertingvthe wilderness into farm` homes. In their young days the hardshipsli and privations of `pioneer `life were not{ passed and both knew and experienced what ; Ithey meant. Schools were dist-ant, church- es were equal-ly so and moving from place to place was usually performed by shanks pony." As time passed conditions improv- ed. Roads were built and in 1855 the rail- 3 waywas constructed to Collingwood, this I obviating the long trips to Barrie and Tor-I1` Paul`: Preebyterian Church he has enjoyed the honor of having been an elder -for [forty-_ two years.."He is also a` life member Ofi I I I Manito Masonic Lodge.

All this was distinctive enough to justify the me- morial which has been raised to Martin in the Harbor Square at Quebec. The handsome shaft of granite, designed by Henri Hbert and T. Roxburg Smith, was unveiled early in May by Hon. Athanase David, Quebec's Provincial. Treasurer and the event was marked bya gathering of notables including the Gov- ernor "of Quebec, Sir Charles Fitzpatrick. Among those who spoke were F. L. Wanklyn, representing the Canadian Pacific Railway Company by whom the memorial was erected. Lieut.-Col. Alex. Fraser, 'A.D.C. to the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, Law- rence Burpee. President of the Canadian Historical Society and Monseigneur ` Laflamme, Cure of the Basilica. The latter spoke as the successor of the first Cur of Quebec "who was Martin's parish priest and who was afterwards martyred by the Iroquois. He read the baptismal certificate of Abraham Martin s first child who was also the `first white child born in Canada. He also read` the baptismal certificate of Martin s' third child upon which appeared the name .of Samuel dc Champlain as godfather. Thememorial has been set up by the Canadian Pacific in honor. not only of Abraham Martin but of the stout-hearted pilots who for over threehundred years have done so much to make the St. Lawrence River a safe and speedy route to and from Europe.. That Company uses the route more than `any other, and the arrival at Quebec of the great liner Empress of Scotland on her first trip of the season with 731 passengers from Europe later in "the day of the unveiling empha- sizes what has been accomplished in the making of the St. `Lawrence route a great highway for ocean borne commerce. .4 from whom have come a vast number of descendants among) whom are numbered some of Quebec s best families and leading citizens. Bishon Tache of St. Boniface is one of his descendants in direct line. Champlain gave Martin a deed to the farm land on the Plains of Abraham, and documents telling of his living there still exist. He apparently` travelled greatly up and down the river for Cape Martin in the Gulf of St. Lawrence is also named after him.
