William Cameron Edwards 1844-1921

I have visited the location shown below but have been unable to locate this plaque there.

If anyone locates it and takes a clear close-up digital photo of this plaque
(see location below) and emails it to me (see menu above),
I will post it here and give that person credit as the photographer.

According to some information I received in July 2007 from the Rockland Library about this plaque, it is in storage because the brick/cement structure fell apart. There is talk of rededicating it next year when the Town of Rockland is 100 years old.

Plaque Location

The United Counties of Prescott and Russell
The City of Clarence-Rockland
In Rockland, at the site of the ruins of his sawmill complex, in Parc du Moulin at the north end of Edwards Street, north of Highway 17

Coordinates: (unknown)

Plaque Summary from the Ontario Heritage Trust's website

A leading lumber producer in the Ottawa valley, Edwards owned many mills in Rockland and Ottawa. As the member of parliament for Russell from 1887 to 1903, he vigorously promoted the interests of lumberers in provincial forestry policies.
