Book Description

Excerpt from National Year Book, 1907: The National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution At a meeting at the same place, held on December 26, representatives from the Niagara Frontier Historical Society of Niagara Falls, Society of the War of 1812, and the Men's Club of Lewiston appeared besides the representatives from the societies before named.) Articles of association were adopted and officers duly elected. The same officers have been chosen at each annual meeting. Because of the Exposition of 1901 the work of the Associa tion was not taken up until the year 1902. Nine tablets have been erected and formally dedicated. Two more will be added to the number in September next. There is also in preparation a granite structure to commemorate the services and death of Capt. Abraham S. Hull and nine privates of the Ninth Regi ment of the U. S. Infantry, who fought and were killed at the Battle Of Lundy's Lane. In a cemetery on the field where the battle occurred, near the shadow of two large trees, almost under the eves of a village church, at an angle with those about them, are two unpretentious graves, side by side. In one of these the Officer is buried; in the other are the remains of the privates collected from the field; one is marked by a much mutilated marble slab; the other by a headboard. Our memo. Rial stone will be suitably inscribed for both. Mr. Avery has been several times on the Board of Managers Of the Empire State Society; under the past two administra tions a member of the Executive Committee of the National Society.
