The New Haven Cenotaph stands on the property of the Kingston legion. The legion was originally a funeral home and horse barn before it was converted to a legion. It is believed the monument was created to commemorate the soldiers whose names were not yet on a monument from local areas: Kingston, Clyde River, Crapaud, Cornwall, Nine Mile Creek, Long Creek, Kelly’s Cross and Hartsville.

It is located next to the Community Center in Kinkora. Mr. Justice Armand Desroches said during his dedication speech “In erecting this memorial and honouring our war dead and our veterans both living and deceased, we do not glorify war.

SURVEY OF PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND

ARPENTAGE DE

L'ILE-DU-PRINCE-ÉDOUARD

In 1764 the British government decided to undertake a systematic survey of its North American territory, recently enlarged in the war with France. For this purpose Captain Samuel Holland was put in charge of the northern region, with orders to survey St. John’s (now Prince Edward) Island first. In October 1764 he established a base at Observation (Holland) Cove and spent the next year surveying and sounding coastal waters. Holland divided the island into 67 townships or lots and reserved land for townsites. This work provided the basis for the allocation of Island lands in 1767.

En 1764, les autorités anglaises décidèrent d'arpenter, de façon systématique leur territoire d'Amérique du Nord, agrandi aux dépens de la France pendant la récente guerre. Elles confièrent la région du nord au capitaine Samuel Holland en lui demandant de commencer par l'île Saint-Jean (île-du-Prince-Édouard). Il établit sa base à l'anse de l’Observation (Holland) en octobre 1764 et passa l'année suivante à faire des levés de terrain et à sonder les eaux côtières. Il divisa l'île en 67 cantons ou lots et réserva des terres pour la création de villes. Ce travail détermina le partage de l'île en 1767.

A monument in memory of Captain Samuel Holland, the surveyor who mapped the Island, and who laid out its lots and parishes between the years of 1764 and 1766. Holland has left behind a legacy, particularly in the Rocky Point, and Holland Cove region. Today, a solitary Island sandstone monument stands handsomely in an open patch of grass just up from his original campsite in Rocky Point, which bears his name and brief description of his expedition in 1764.

King George III appointed Captain Samuel Holland as Surveyor-General of British North America in 1764. Holland, who was a skilled surveyor and cartographer, was given the task of providing a detailed survey of the land and water ways of the Island. He was also responsible for noting the physical characteristics of the Island such as soil quality, timber, climate conditions, as well as animal and fish species’; all of which are pertinent to colonizing a new land. Captain Holland’s North American expedition was executed in 1764, with the first stop being Ile Saint Jean. The entire survey took the better part of two years to complete. After travelling around the entire Island with dog-teams of men and canoes, he was able to devise a map with utmost accuracy, displaying every river, stream, harbour and bay. He was notorious for dividing the Island into three counties, and 67 townships, each consisting of 20 000 acres.
