By way of explanation, Im serving a Mission here in Canada for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Da- y Saints from the Parowan West Ward. Ive been here in the Canadian Mission for nearly a year having spent the last ten months as District President of the London District, in which the followig occured.

A. and Landsmarks Association. This Monument now known as the Nauvoo Road Monument is made from a large mill stone used in a grist mill constructed and operated in the village of Alvinston by one Archibald Gardner (or Gardiner). Archibald Gardner was one of the first settlers and built the first grist mill in what was then Brooke Township. In the year 1843 John Burrowman, a Missionary representing the Church came into Alvinston and converted Mr. Gardner, his family and several others to the faith. Persecution became so biter that he sold his mill and in the year 1845, leaving his family in Alvinston, started out on foot for Nauvoo Illinois. He crossed the river between Canada and Michigan at what is now known as Point Edward just as ice from the river was beginning to break up. The following year he sent for his family, who with a group of converts cut a road through the forest from Alvinston to a place called Watford to be used in making the journey to I Nauvoo. Tho road was called by the that section of the PeoP,e country The Nauvoo Road. A highway over the same territory still carries that name. Archibald Gardner made his way Continued on page five A |
