Memorial Cross Erected At Morden
The old familiar wooden cross that has for many years marked the place where the fleeing Acadians erected a cross in memory of the first death in that ill-fated band, now gives way to a more befitting memorial. A beautiful stone cross, mounted on a concrete base, marks that historic site. A polished slab has been set in under the arm projections, bearing the inscription, "French Cross, 1755." This slab was donated by the Middleton Granite and Marble Co., of Middleton. The monument is an achievement and well merited praise is due the two ladies who undertook this work, Miss M. Chase of Kentville and Mrs. James Dodge of Aylesford, who worked assiduously in collecting the Building fund. The formal unveiling will take place some time next summer.
The undersigned wish to report the following account:
