made to locate the grave and bury the remains in St. Mark's, but the design was abandoned,

SERVOS FAMILY BURIAL GROUND.

In the Servos burial place on there are five generations buried. of Col. Johnson who was killed 1759.

the farm of Mrs. Mary Servos, Here is the grave of the widow at the taking of Fort Niagara,

"Sacred to the memory of Elizabeth Johnson, who died 8th Nov., 1811, aged 104 years. She had thus survived her husband 52 years, another is to her daughter Elizabeth Servos wife of Daniel Servos who died in 1821 aged 72. Here also is buried Magdalene Servos wife of John Whitmore, the little girl who witnessed the killing of her grandfather in the Revolutionary War and was brought away to Canada several years after by her father, afterwards marrying John Whitmore, himself at one time a prisoner with the Indians, his nose and ears being slit by them; their daughter became the wife of our distinguished literateur William Kirby, F. R. S. C.

"Sacred to the memory of Elizabeth, relict of Colin McNabb, Esq., of -, near Niagara, who departed this life Sept. 26th, 1812, aged 44 years; also of their son Colin Alexander, Lieut. in H.M. late Nova Scotia Fencibles Regt., who departed this life Nov, 10th, 1820. In St. Mark's register is a pathetic reference to the former as recorded by Mr. Addison : "On the day on which the engagement between Sir Jas. Yeo and Commodore Chauncy took place on the lake, cur dear friend Mrs. McNabb was buried in the Servos' burying ground, 29th Sept. 1814."

A large monument is to Col. J. D. Servos who died in 1847, aged 62, and another to Daniel Servos, Esq., who died 26th Mar., 1808, aged 65. In the Anglican Church at Virgil are two tablets on the walls to these, thus .

"In Memoriam Capt. Daniel Servos of Butler's Rangers, United Empire Loyalist, died Mar. 26th, 1808, aged 65.”

"Col John D. Servos, born in Niagara, 1784, was Captain of the Lincoln Militia during the war of 1812-15. Commanded the Militia at Chippawa during the Rebellionof 1837-8, died April 24th, 1847."

Other names found here as Tannahill Fuller, Lowe, and several Indians here found sepulture, and one at least who could not have been a U. E. L. as a flat stone commemorates Wm. Lowe

of the parish of Clogheen, County of Tipperary, Ireland, and his wife who died in 1813.

On the farm was the first mill in the country, and part of the house still standing wns built in 1784. Old account books of that date show curious items, and commissions signed by different governors, assert the military spirit of the family.

BALL FAMILY BURIAL GROUND.

The Ball graveyard at Locust Grove has also several generations buried in its enclosure. The Jacob Ball who came with his three sous bringing forty men, in 1782 lies here. "In memory of Jacob Ball, born 1733, died 1810 Having fought in Queen's 1750 Rangers and Butler's Rangers through the Revolutionary War he was spared the second contest, dying two years before the war of 1812. The sons, Peter, John and George are buried here, while the other son, Jacob, is buried at the Ten Mile Creek. The wife of Jacob Ball the elder, Mary Ball, died in 1814, agod 78, in the midst of war's alarms and shortly after the family residence had been burnt.

How strangely occur references to the distant possessions of this vast empire, as here in this quiet country graveyard is buried a daughter of Major McKie, East India Company's service,

Another U. E. L. name is found here: Elizabeth Showers, wife of Peter Ball, born 1764, died 1844.

The last iuterred here was John W. Ball, for fitty years an office bearer in St. Mark's.

FIELD, BROWN, VROOMAN.

Near the residence of Mr. Geo. Field, which is an historic house, having been used as a hospital in the war of 1812, is a graveyard in which are interred members of three families. The house near was built by Gilbert Field, the first brick house on the river road and before the beginning of the century. A tombstone

tells us that he died in 1815. aged 50, while his son Daniel Field who fought at Detroit, Queenston and Lundy's Lane, died in 1873, having received for his services a medal gained by the instrumentality of Hon, Wm. H. Merritt, as shown in a letter dated Quebec, 1852,

In another division of the plot is an inscription :

"Sacred to the memory of Solomon S. Vrooman, born Dec. 5th, 1783, died Aug. 21st, 1874," also to his wife Mary Brown. S S. Vrooman fought at Queenston Heights and his picture ap

pears in a group of eight veterans taken in 1869 in front of the monument, their united ages being 609. The position of Vrooman's battery is yet pointed out. A thick gray stone double with a perpendicular division with angel's faces carved above, has these words:

"In memory of Joseph Brown, died 1821, aged 65, and his consort, Rebecca Juhnson, 9th March, 1808."

"Remember men when thou pass by

As you are now so once was Ï,
As we are now so you must be,
Remember men that all must die."

Two others of the date 1808 also have angel's faces.

"In memory of Nancy Vrooman, daughter of Solomon and Mary Vrooman, died April 1808, in the 16th year of her age. Erected Mar. 1824,"

Also Phebe Brown, died 1808, showing the early possession of the farm, still in the same name,

BELLINGER FAMILY BURYING GROUND.

An almost forgotten family burying plot on the Cox farm which having passed through many hands in the century we may readily understand why the stones are broken and almost illegible. This in old times was the Bellinger farm, there have evidently been nearly a score of graves rough stones still stand, and from the dry bed of the brook we gathered fragments which we pieced together with some degree of success. On a brownish grey stone with the lettering still quite plain on the one half yet standing was a quotation from the Apocrypha, the first found from its pages of all so tar examined, and in another respect this stone is unique as fuller particulars are given than elsewhere found; while others give year, month and day of birth and death these give the hour of both.

"In memory of Phillip Bellinger who was born 20th, 1725, between 4 and 5 o'clock in the morning, and died Feb. 16th, 1799, between 4 and 5 o'clock in the morning."

"Here rests the body of Nanna Pawling, wife of G. A. Pawling, who was born Aug. 1802, at o'clock in the morning, and died June -, at o'clock in the morning. She being made perfect in a short time fulfilled a long time, For her soul leased the Lord, therefore he hasted to take her away from among the wicked.-Eccles, chap. 4, veises 13 and 14."
