Smith’s Falls and District Baptist Centennial

Celebrating 100 years of progress, members of the Baptist Church of Smith’s Falls, together with former members of the congregation and many prominent visitors, observed the centenary anniversary of the organization of the church in this district. The celebration opened with special services on Sunday, October 29, special speakers assisting in the celebration.

The main feature of the 100th anniversary celebration was the dedication of a memorial on the Perth Road about three miles from Smith’s Falls which marks the site of the home of Elder Duncan McNab, organizer of the church in this district. The memorial is a stone column which was the original chimney of the McNab home and on it has been placed a beautiful bronze plaque. Grounds about the memorial have been beautified and a concrete platform has been built about the base.
