held at Dunham when the plaque was unveiled by Mrs. McElroy, Charter
Member of Dunham WI. Mrs. Gordon Brown, daughter of Mrs. Beach, read the

Brown, M.L.A., Mr. J. J. Bertrand, M.P.P.Q.C., Mme P. C. LeBeau, Department of
Agriculture and representative from the Historic Sites and Monuments Board. Read more.
