Modestly placed on one tier of a rising parkland is this marker to designate the location of the cremated remains of Ruth Redmond. The text of that marker is:
RUTH REDMOND 1903 - 1999
Ruth Redmond was a teacher at nearby Stamford Collegiate from 1926 to 1967.
In 1956, Miss Redmond began purchasing properties that were adjacent to her home here on the north side of Lundy's Lane. This valuable land was part of the Lundy's Lane Battleground from the War or 1812.
Her sole objective was to protect this historic ground from commercial development. Miss Redmond beautified much of her property with lovely flower gardens in memory of "her boys" - those that perished in the Battle.
In 1966, Miss Redmond donated here five properties (1.5 acres) to the City of Niagara Falls with the agreement that the City would conserve the heritage character of the property and develop a park in commemoration of the Battle.
At her request, Miss Redmond's cremated remains are resting here in her beloved Shangri-La Gardens.
