Trooper Henry BlackPrint Page 
The monument commemorates Trooper Henry Black who died during the South African (Boer) War.
Sunday afternoon there was a very large gathering at the unveiling of the monument erected to the memory of the fallen soldier H. Black, who went from here to the South African war. After the singing of the hymn, "O God Our Help in Ages Past," Canon de Coetlogon asked Mrs. D. Campbell, sen., to unveil the monument, which disclosed a very neat work in freestone in two colours, with crossed rifles and arms, etc., inscribed.
