Background of Dedication of a Memorial to the MacNab Family
at Hamilton Cemetery on 15 May 2004 Lawyer, landowner, soldier,
railway magnate and Premier of the United Canadas (1854-56),
Sir Allan Napier MacNab remains one of the most significant
figures in the history of both our community and pre-Confederation
Canada. In 2003, the Head-of-the-Lake Historical Society
received permission from the Keppel Society of England and
the descendants of MacNab to erect a monument on the resting
place of various members of the MacNab family (Sir Allan's
parents, his first wife and his son, his brother and two nephews)
in Hamilton Cemetery. This site had been unmarked since 1909
when the remains of the family were removed from the family
plot, Inchbuie, on the Dundurn Castle grounds, and were reinterred
in Hamilton Cemetery. (MacNab and other family members were
reinterred in Holy Sepulchre Cemetery.)
On Saturday, May 15, 2004 at Hamilton Cemetery, the Head-of-the-Lake
Historical Society, unveiled a monument to the MacNab family
members.
