C. Ellison Kaumeyer, Esq.,
General Manager,
Niagara Parks Commission,
Niagara Palls,
Ontario.
Dear Mr. Kaumeyer:
Last year you wrote to me asking if I could find out
anything about the press that William Lyon Mackenzie used
in Queenston.
On October 16, I sent alL that I had been
able to find which I am afraid was very little,
in spite of
the time spent in the search.
Since then I have kept the
matter in mind. I find that there is no doubt that in
October, 1824, Hiram Leavenworth began printing for Mac
kenzie.
Por in 1826 Mackenzie stated that Leavenworth had
been his foreman for some time.
1 was not too sure that
this
was
the
case
when
last
1
wrote.
I also find that Hiram Leavenworth published the
Waterloo Gazette, in Waterloo, ji.Y. before he came to
Canada. Therefore it is likely that the Queenston press
and the Waterloo press were the same.
One thing is clear
through all my reaearch and that is that the Queenston press
and the press damaged in the type. riot of 1826 were different.
With the hope that publicity might bring some further
information to light I have persuaded the editor of the Can
adian Historical neview to print a brief note on Mackenzie's
this will be read by most historical scholars in
presses,
Canada and may result in some further discoveries.

Messrs. Purdy, Poole moved adoption of the minutes of the annual meeting,
December 12, 1992, copies of which were circulated to all directors by the
secretary.
Mr. Teather reported that the letter of application for incorporation of
Mackenzie Heritage Printery, (copies provided to all directors with these
minutes) had been submitted and early response was expected.
[The

the meeting, Mr. Miller

possible that this will be approved soon.]
as a positive response
The secretary, Lou Cahill, notified the meeting that he would resign as a
director but continue as secretary to avoid conflict with charitable tax legal
requirements that all directors be unpaid volunteers. This is necessary
because Mr. Cahill represents OEB International Inc. which has a
fee/volunteer arrangement with the Printery through The St. Catharines
Standard whom OEB also serves in other capacities. The resignation was
accepted removing Mr. Cahill's position as a director as elected December
12. (This decision was reached following discussions with the solicitor, Mr.
Miller.)

to go to Ottawa to work with Mr. Ryder and his staff in dismantling and
packing of the press for shipment and its subsequent assembly at
Queenston. Mr. Purdy was thanked for his generous volunteer offer. (For

Much discussion followed concerning equipment that is loaned or given to

the items as they see fit and preventing liability claims from donors if the
equipment is harmed or destroyed in any way. If donors only wish to loan
the equipment, a separate form should be drafted.

obtained.

Discussions
with
senior education staff and teachers have confirmed that reduced school
budgets and prevailing economic conditions among students and their
families have discouraged required school bus transportation. Other
competing spring factors are exams, field days, races, picnics and similar
outdoor events.
Whether there will be an increase in student attendance at the Printery in
June remains to be seen. At this writing, one class (Ecole Lamarsh,
Niagara Falls) has participated in the lecture/demonstration
information/education program at the restored Colonial Advocate office.
Between now and the close of the school year about June 19, five schools
have registered, as follows:
Canadian Martyr School, St. Catharines
Connaught School, St. Catharines
Dewitt Carter School, Port Colborne
Valley Way School, Niagara Falls
