The pink granite boulder was engraved with the Department of Highways shield, and a special tribute to Harry Martyn. The Department of Highways placed this monument on the southeast corner of the Hwy 2 and Hwy 106 (Now County Road 74) intersection in Welcome. I would like to take this opportunity to extend special thanks to Larry Paradis for first informing me of the existence of this interesting historic monument.

"IN MEMORY OF
HARRY MARTYN 1865-1937 THE FIRST PATROLMAN ON THE KING'S HIGHWAYS OF ONTARIO 1918-1934"  (Photograph taken on May 20, 2005 - © Cameron Bevers) |
