Cemetery Report: Sept. 19, 2010 "The Boston Slave & Fugitive"
List user 10/28/2010, 8:48:33 AM Out the motel room door at 7:50AM and another clear, sunny day in Niagara Falls. Left Tim's at 8:14AM @ 56F/15C. Got to Sir Isaac Brock's Monument at 8:37AM (P's) I still say this is the best ,all time monument ,for any one person I have ever seen. But, its more than just his monument, its also his headstone, which I guess lots of people forget. He's buried in the very bottom of this monument/headstone. Out of here at 8:54AM. I'm just outside of Niagara-On-The-Lake and I pulled over to take a look at Lake Ontario. Glad I did, right then. As I'm looking straight out into the Lake, I am seeing Toronto and the CNN Tower and all of the tall buildings around that area of Toronto. Its there, but its like in a slight haze. Now thinking and I am doubting what I am seeing. I don't think its possible? The map of Ontario does show Toronto across from Niagara-On-The-Lake, but, off to the left, I'm looking straight across, that's still a dam long ways over there. Anyone know for sure? Am I really seeing Toronto from here or am I seeing my first weather inversion that I have heard about for years on other Great Lakes???? 9:27AM brings me to Niagara Lake Shore Cemetery on Lakeshore Road at Niagara-on-the-Lake. I left this cemetery at 9:54AM. Its a good sized cemetery but someone else will have to do this one, not me. There are no monuments in here. They are all ground level bronze markers, supposed to be at ground level. I didn't bring a weed whacker and rake. They are all covered with, grass, dirt, leaves etc. Without tools it would be impossible to read any of these properly. It also doesn't seem to be a very old cemetery. Oldest I saw was 1970's. 11:12AM brings me to Victoria Lawn Cemetery, St Catharines, Ontario. Clara Hipple 1867-1936. Minnie Argue died Aug 12, 1902 age 23 years 2 months and 18 days.
