Corkery Cemetery is at 1573 Corkery Road, Ottawa.
This cemetery is also known as St Michael's Roman Catholic Cemetery. There must be an interesting story behind this zinc memorial. All that survives in Corkery is a single piece, set flat on the ground, of a zinc monument. As early as 1979 when a survey was undertaken by members of the Ottawa Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society, this piece was already separate.

The ruins are near the centre of Coco Cay.
The ruins are near the centre of the island of Little Stirrup Cay, now known as Coco Cay. Interestingly, the ruins are some distance from the shore.
Little Stirrup Cay is the most northerly island in the Berry Islands chain. Presently, visitors to Coco Cay must travel here by tender boat from cruise ships belonging to the Royal Caribbean family of cruise ships. I assume that the site is maintained by staff from Royal Caribbean.
The following text is taken from an interpretive sign on site. These ruins represent a series of possible adaptive reuses that date from the Anglo-Colonial period to c1990s. The thick stonewalls and the narrow passageways suggest an early military use. It is known that the British Royal Navy stationed warships around the Berry Islands to intercept slave ships attempting to smuggle African slaves to markets in the American South and Spanish Caribbean. The ruins may therefore have been a way station for these naval patrols and could have provided accommodations for a small land-based force of 4-6.
The fake pirate burial is a sad distraction from the historical ruins.

The congregation already existed by the year 1814. This building dates back to the late 1860s. Concerning weekly services, Sunday School is at 09h45 and worship takes place at 11h00. Communion is shared on the first Sunday of each month. Other events take place throughout the week. See the church web site for details.
Trinity Methodist Church also makes use of properties along Charlotte Street. Feel free to include photographs of those buildings.
The following text is found on a bahamas.com web site.
Trinity Methodist Church with its rich history provides a great photo opportunity. In the year 1814 a large house situated at the southern end of Nassau Court was adapted to make the original Methodist Chapel, with a seating capacity of 500 persons. However, in 1830 a new larger West Chapel was built on the same site which later became Government High School, and then more recently housed offices of the Ministry of Tourism. The congregation at the West Chapel felt the need for a larger and more centrally situated place of worship which led to the building of Trinity Methodist Church on its present site.
The building that was intended to serve as a chapel and schoolroom to accommodate a congregation of 800 persons took four years to construct. It was dedicated on Sunday 2nd April, 1865 but just 18 months later a hurricane totally destroyed the building. The Church was completely rebuilt with the roof lowered by ten feet. Then yet another natural disaster wreaked havoc on Trinity Church, on the 16th September, 1928, two thirds of the western end was blown away which resulted in the gallery disappearing and the remains of its large and powerful organ were found in the basement. The building was soon repaired and restored but the gallery was not replaced. The Hall organ, installed in 1929, was replaced by a three-manual Wicks Pipe Organ in 1964.
In 1973 the stained glass windows were installed, and were dedicated on Sunday 17th June of that year. These beautiful windows (with the exception of three) tell the story of Jesus from His birth through boyhood, to the calling of the disciples, the telling of parables, His triumphant ride into Jerusalem followed by His death on the Cross and His glorious resurrection on that first Easter Day. They were all given in memory of loved ones by members of the congregation. http://www.tmcbahamas.com/#!
St. Andrew's congregation dates back to 1808, after loyalists settled in The Bahamas, having been banished after the revolutionary war in the United States. The cornerstone for the church was laid in 1810. Construction of the Kirk Hall was completed in 1874. In 2015, the manse is located in Harmony Hill. In 2010, St. Andrew's became a congregation within the Evangelical Presbyterian Church. Before that time, the congregation was an overseas mission of The Church of Scotland.

Becoming tired Jamieson asked Holland if he could hold on for himself now for some time. Holland thought he could, and so was left to himself. He at once began to sink, and Jamieson hurried to him. Willie Holland sprang at him and grabbed Jamieson by the cap and hair. This action nearly meant the death of both young men. With a desperate effort Jamieson tore himself loose from the grasp of his drowning companion. Venn came to the scene, and the two young men assisted Holland to the back of the boat. Jamieson then took the precaution to tie the arm of Mr. Holland with one of the sail ropes. Upon being seated upon the boat Jamieson thinks he heard Willie Holland groan and give a fearful gasp, and believed he died there and then. He did not fall off the boat until some minutes later, and that is the last that was seen of him. Although their energies were nearly exhausted, the two remaining young men still struggled to right their boat. They succeeded and their hopes sprang high. Mr. Jamieson leaped into the boat and looked for his friend, Albert Venn. He saw him, but to his dismay he was sinking about 15 feet away from him. With scarcely strength enough to move, Mr. Jamieson sprang from the boat and hurried to his drowning friend. He succeeded in catching him as he was going down. He assisted him to the boat, both men more dead than alive. The last hope faded when they caught their boat and attempted to get in. The boat overturned, and they were left struggling together. Nearly exhausted and with barely strength enough to paddle a stroke towards the floating boat, both men succeeded in again catching the ropes and the side of the boat. Clinging to this for some time, Jamieson and Venn floated with the stream. Both young men were nearly numbed by the cold. Jamieson noticed that his friend was gradually sinking. With the heart of a hero and the endurance of a lion, he forced his way to the only human being he might ever see in this world again. Catching Venn by the coat collar, he held him for some time. The strength of both was fast giving way and neither one could hold out much longer. Mr. Venn could not keep his head above water. His face would fall into the water every two or three minutes. Jamieson tried to find a rope to tie him to, but could not. His friend he knew to be nearly gone. He himself had barely strength to sustain his own life. He managed to secure a good hold of the boat for Venn, and then was about to seek the same for himself. Mr. Jamieson had just left his friend when he saw him lose his hold, his head drop on his breast, and his hands go up into the air. He hurried to him, but he was too late. Mr. Venn had gone, and no efforts of his could bring him back. This was about 10.30 p.m., just about an hour after Holland had gone to the bottom. Alone upon the lake Jamieson found himself. It was bitter cold and the night was inky in its blackness. He could see no lights and could scarcely find the boat. He expected his end would come shortly. He managed to climb atop of the boat and further that that he cannot tell other than at what he thought was about 2 o'clock he fell upon the sand bank about a mile above the Britannia light house. This is the story of another of a series of sad drowning accidents that have occurred on Lake Deschenes; as told by young Jamieson when he reached home this morning in a weakened condition.

When the Sandy Hill cemetery was closed, remains were reinterred here in Beechwood. Bradley's son Edward died in 1836 and had been buried in an even older cemetery near Barrack Hill, now Parliament Hill. The following narrative is found in the booklet Historical Portraits published by the Beechwood Cemetery.
The American Revolution and two wars shaped the life of William Brown Bradley who grew up in a family fiercely loyal to the Crown and fought in His Majesty’s Forces to defend the British colonies. On his death in Bytown, Bradley was described as “not only a brave officer but a deserving settler” of Carleton County.
On Whitemarsh Island near Savannah, Georgia, his parents struggled to run their plantation during turbulent times in the 13 colonies while raising young Bradley along with his twin brother and a sister. After their father, employed by the British Army Commissariat, died during the American Revolutionary War, the family got a new father figure: Lieutenant John Jenkins, a professional soldier in the New Jersey Volunteers, who married their mother in 1781. After the eight-year continental war ended, the United States forced a mass exodus of Loyalists so Jenkins moved his adopted family to New Brunswick and started a new life as pioneers. Four more children were born on a farm and a large estate near Fredericton.
In 1793, Jenkins and Bradley joined the militia in the King’s New Brunswick Regiment, as colonists worried that the American republic would invade the Maritimes, capitalizing on Britain being embroiled in the Napoleonic wars. Bradley served in two more regiments, rising from the junior rank of ensign to captain in the 104th (New Brunswick) Regiment of Foot. He served with a half-brother in the infantry unit.
Capt. Bradley was commanding a 104th company in 1812 when the United States declared war on Britain and invaded Upper Canada. Fortunately, its armies suffered defeats in initial battles. Sir George Prevost feared in 1813 he did not have enough troops to defend Upper Canada from more American invasions so the commander-in-chief ordered a whole regiment, the 104th, to make a winter march 1,125 kilometres from Fredericton to Quebec City and on to Kingston. Six 104th Regiment companies, including Capt. Bradley’s unit, took 52 days in February and March for the incredible overland trek of 554 men and supplies through severe cold and heavy snowfalls.
While the 104th mostly did garrison duty in Kingston for the war, various detachments were sent on campaigns. A Montreal Gazette obituary attested that Capt. Bradley participated in the May 29, 1813 raid on the Lake Ontario shipbuilding base at Sackets Harbor where his company sustained casualties. He also was with the 104th detachment at the surrender of nearly 1,000 American soldiers at the battle of Beaver Dams on June 24, 1813 and at the August 15, 1814 assault on American-occupied Fort Erie where his company again suffered losses.
With the War of 1812 ended in the colonies and Napoleon’s armies defeated in Europe, Britain disbanded many of its infantry regiments, including the 104th, with Capt. Bradley, aged 46, going into retirement on half-pay and living near Montreal. By the early 1820s, some of the family was on the move again migrating to the Bytown area where Bradley had additional land grants in March and Huntley Townships as well as along the Rideau River. His leadership skills were put into action as the lieutenant-colonel in the First Carleton Militia and a Justice of the Peace to administer the new judicial district of March and Huntley. Among the settlers, he was known to be “generous, good-hearted and obliging.” Along with his sons, Bradley also ran a wool-carding mill and shingle mill as well as a farm with livestock.
Capt. Bradley died Oct. 2, 1850 and was buried in the Sandy Hill cemetery where his son, Edward Sands Bradley had been interred in 1836. With the closing of the Sandy Hill burying grounds, remains of eight family members were removed in 1876 to the newly-opened Beechwood Cemetery.

Born in Amherst, Nova Scotia in 1907, Norman Elliot Rodger began a distinguished military career as a cadet at Royal Military College at the age of sixteen. During World War II he served in various capacities overseas, concluding as Chief of Staff of 2nd Canadian Corps. In this role he served with distinction throughout the 1944-45 campaign in France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, being awarded the Commander of the Order of the British Empire,the Legion of Merit (US), and the Orde Van Oranj-Nassau (Netherlands) medals.

His army career included post-war appointments as Quartermaster General, General Officer Commanding Prairie Command, and Vice Chief of the General Staff.
Retiring to Winnipeg in 1956, Rodger served as Chairman of the Manitoba Liquor Control Commission and on many community and corporate boards.

Norman McLeod Paterson was born August 3, 1883 in Portage La Prairie, Manitoba. He was educated in Portage Public Schools and the Wellesley School in Toronto, Ontario.
Norman Paterson began his career with the Manitoba Railway and Canal Company in 1897, and later joined the Great Northern Railway of Canada as a telegrapher. He resigned as purchasing agent in 1903. Paterson entered the grain business with his father, H.S. Paterson, in 1903 and went on to form N.M Paterson and Company at Fort William, Ontario in 1908. Serveral years later, Paterson formed Paterson Steamships Limited. The grain and steamship companies were eventually succeeded by N.M. Paterson and Sons Limited. This company now owns and operated grain elevators in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta and lake freighters on the Great Lakes.
In 1940, Norman Paterson was appointed to the Canadian Senate by Prime Minister MacKenzie King. Senator Paterson was appointed Knight of the Order of St. John by King George VI in 1945. He served as the first chancellor of Lakehead University, 1965 to 1971, and retired from the senate in 1981 after forty years of service.
Throughout his life, Senator Paterson took a keen interest in philanthropy. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church of Canada and served as President of the Victorian Order of Nurses in Canada. In 1970, Senator Paterson incorporated a private, charitable Foundation bearing his name.
The 1970's witnessed the growth of the Foundation, as well as a widening of the Foundation's scope of interest. Shortly after his One Hundredth birthday in 1983 the Senator passed away and the Foundation grew as the sole beneficiary of his estate.
Today the philanthropic tradition set by the Honourable Norman McLeod Paterson is perpetuated by his Foundation under the guidance of the Board of Directors.

Melville Falkner Rogers represented Canada at the first Olympic Winter Games, Chamonix, France, in 1924, figure skating. He finished seventh, of eleven, in the men's individual event. In the compulsory figures Rogers was ranked as high as fifth by one judge.
Rogers also competed in the mixed pairs event described in a contemporary report in The Ottawa Citizen, 31 January 1924, front page.
Melville F. Rogers, Ottawa, and Miss Cecil Eustace Smith, Toronto, stand seventh in the figure skating competitions in the Olympic winter sports. There is much dissatisfaction over the figure skating event because the Canadian entrants were not permitted to make any preparation before entering the competitions.
The following narrative is taken from the booklet Historic Portraits published by the Beechwood Cemetery.
Rogers was born in Ottawa on January 5, 1899. For 60 years, he was associated with the Minto Skating Club, and he founded the Minto Follies. He served as president of the Canadian Figure Skating Association for two terms and also chaired the international judges committee for 15 years.
Five times Canadian figure skating champion, and twice North American singles figure skating champion, he was also a member of the Canadian and four North American fours title teams. He was a member of the 1924 Olympic team and received the International Skating Union gold medal. Rogers died on September 26, 1973. He was inducted into the Ottawa Sports Hall of Fame in 1991.
Rogers is buried with his wife Isobel who was also his figure skating partner at Canadian and World Championships.

In the 1932 games in Lake Placid, John Fletcher Currie represented Canada in the 18 kilometre cross-country skiing event, finishing in 40th place of 42.
The following narrative is taken from the Historical Portraits book published by the Beechwood Cemetery. Born in Ottawa on January 2, 1910, John Currie showed an aptitude for skiing at a young age. During his time at Lisgar Collegiate Institute in the 1920s, he captured the city-wide high school championship three years in a row. Currie was a member of the Ottawa Ski Club, and was the first member of the club to ever win the championship at the course at Shawbridge, laid out by the Montreal Ski Club. In 1932, Currie was invited to be a member of the Canadian Olympic ski team, and he completed the 18-kilometre cross-country skiing event at Lake Placid. After his stint at the Olympics, Currie continued to be an avid skier, and is credited with making cross - country skiing such a popular sport. Currie worked for some years in northern Quebec as an engineer in a gold mine during WWII. After returning to Ottawa in 1945, he became the manager of Beechwood Cemetery, a position he held until the early 1960s. Currie passed away on December 20, 1989.

I suspect that the monument dates from 19 November 1874 when three reinterments took place "from old cemetery" as descibed in the Beechwood Cemetery burial registers: Elizabeth M Dickinson (1821-1861), Lydia M Dickinson (1857-1872) and Alpheus M Dickinson (1855-1856). Perhaps the monument had been relocated from the cemetery that once existed between Cobourg and Wurtemburg.
The following narrative is taken from a Beechwood Cemetery booklet. Born in Denmark, New York on June 1, 1822, Moss Kent Dickinson was the son of an owner of ships and stagecoaches.The ships called at ports on the St. Lawrence between Montreal and Prescott, including Dickinson's Landing, flooded in the 1950s Seaway project. When Dickinson was ten years old his father died from cholera and the boy, after attending schools in Prescott and Cornwall, was employed by his father's business associate. In 1842, at age 20, Dickinson bought a steamboat and barge and shipped farm produce and lumber on the Rideau waterway and the Ottawa and St. Lawrence Rivers. Within 20 years his fleet consisted of 11 steamboats, 55 barges and many tugboats. Dickinson settled in Bytown around 1850 and was involved in several business ventures, including mill construction on the Rideau River, in partnership with Joseph M. Currier, who would become the founder of Beechwood Cemetery. Their saw- and grist-mills on Long Island led to the establishment of the village of Manotick. In 1863 Dickinson became the sole owner of the mills and added wool-carding and cloth-dressing mills as well as shops for the manufacture of furniture, wagons and sleighs, bringing Manotick's population to about 400 residents. Before moving to Manotick in 1870, Dickinson had been a civic leader in Ottawa, serving as its mayor from 1864 until 1866. He was an old friend of John A. Macdonald and was elected a member of parliament in 1882 but did not contest the next election and was defeated in the following one. Dickinson died in Manotick on July 19, 1897.

The waymarking category has not yet been published: Historic Transformer Sub-Station Buildings.
The address is 1275 Carling Avenue, the northeast corner of the intersection of Carling and Merivale.
This transformer sub-station was opened in 1932 by the Ontario Hydro-Electric Commission. It is interesting to think that the station was designed to serve rural areas beyond the city of Ottawa, at that time.
When the Carling sub-station was built, the nearest buildings were two blocks away at the Royal Ottawa Sanatorium for tuberculosis patients. Those buildings would eventually become The Royal Mental Health care facility. The architecture of the sub-station resembles that of institutional buildings for the period such as the Royal Ottawa. The sub-station property continues to serve its original purpose. The transformer farm can be viewed north of the building.
Photography of this waymark might be a challenge. There is no public parking at the transformer station or along street side. The parking at The Royal is not free. Free parking is available at the Westgate shopping centre but the parking lot is monitored for use by those who are not shopping. In addition to the parking challenge, the transformer station has many security cameras in place, something to be expected at any transformer facility in the twenty-first century.
