ABOUND IN INTERESTING SITES

The city Of Buffalo contains MANY points of
historic interest, and these will doubtless be
sought out by thousands of visitors to the Pan
American exposition. These places have been
referred TO and graphically described in a report
made to the joint committee of historical and
patriotic societies of Buffalo by a commission
of which Frank NJ. Severance was chairman

in this neighborhood was built a council house
at Which councils were held and treaties of ma
tlonal Importance We're made. Associated with
it the names of Young King, Farmers
Brother, Red jacket and other Indian celebrities
OF considerable local interest in this vicinity is
the well known site of the Seneca Mission
Church, built 1896, abandoned 1S43, and grad
ually destroyed during succeeding years Indian
Church-sL now runs through the old church
yard and near the site of the building Near by
were the original graves of Red Jacket and other
chiefs, and of Mary Jamison. Their historic
bones We're long since removed to their resting
places-Mary Jamison's to Portage in 1874 the
chiefs to Forest Lawn in 1884 and 1894; but the
site still remain somewhat encroached upon, it
Is true. but unobliterated as yet. the empty
graves still shaded by fine large walnuts and
oaks.
OF even greater interest is the Seneca Mission
House in Buffam-st. Built prior to 1881, it is
still in good preservation, with heavy hewn
black walnut beams that bid fair to Withstand
the tooth of time for many years come In
this house, from 1881 to 1914, dwelt the Rev.
Asher Wright, missionary to the Senecas, and
his gifted and devoted wife. Here. in 1889 was

Seneca language, from specially made type, were
printed portions of the Scriptures, hymnals
spelling books, a Seneca lexicon-this at least
was begun-and newspaper, THE Mental Ele-
yator," in the Seneca tongue.
In the list of sites of merely local interest
the first white settlers house will be expected
That distinction is awarded to the house erected
by Cornelius Whine in 1888, what is now the
east side of Westinghouse at the head Of
Quay-st.
The first schoolhouse was built in 1S07'0S on
the west side of Pearl-st, just below Swan-st. 1t

in the present name of the square. In this
square, among other celebrities, at different

Free Soil Party nominated Van Buren and
Adams-the only national political convention
ever held in Buffalo.

were made for the foundations of the factory, is
now mounted in Lafayette Park.
To the east of the present Niagara-st bridge
on the south bank of the Scajaquada, is the site
of the old Black Rock shipyard. Here a part
of Perry's fleet was fitted out for the battle of
Lake Erie. Here, the Niagara River side,
in 1918, was built the Wall<-n- the Water the
first steamboat on the lakes, and here built
many of the most famous steamboats, that fol-
