ADDENDUlYl In the fall of 1987, Robert and lYlary Grundy of Windsor, Ontario asked the Branch for advice in arranging for a gravestone for lYlrs. Grundy's young brother, Joseph Power. He had been buried in Assump­ tion Cemetery in 1926 but a marker had never been placed on his grave. Arrangements were made with Excelsior lYlonuments Ltd., Tecum­ seh, Onto for the stone. Father Lajeunesse found a place for it in the "children's section"- Section C, near the stones of Paul Hucker and lYlarilyn Schaefer. ADDB'NDUlYl (October 1989) Raymond Rlil:NAUD, husband of Elmire lVlARTINE and father of Rita PITRE, died Aug. 8, 1922, age 33 years.

Several years later, the mission was destroyed by rebel Indians 0 In 1749, the Huron Mission was established on this side of the river at La Pointe de Montreal, near where the Ambassador Bridge stands today, on lands donated by the Huron Indianso The Parish of Assump­ tion, serving both the Hurons and the French settlers, came into being in 1767 with Father Potier as first pastoro A new church was erected near the river where Patricia Rdo is nowo The first known cemetery of the parish was located next to the church. This is shown in a small map of the Village of L'Assomption 1781, in the Historical Atlas of Canada, Volume 1, Plate 530 The Huron village was situated in the vicinity of the present Villa Maria Home for the Aged, under the Ambassador Bridge at the north~ west corner of Huron Church Rdo and Riverside Dro Westo The Indian cemetery was at the back of the village, near a creek which no long­ er exists. In 1787, the third church was built by Father J.F. Huberto It was situated south of the old church at about the centre of the boulevard called Vista Place, just east of Assumption Park in front of the pre­ sent church. (Note:: This park, between University Ave. and Riverside Dr. is generally associated with Ambassador Park which runs along the riverfront. In Assumption Park stands a monument in memory of the "Men of Sandwich"who served in the First World Waro) At the side of the church was erected a chapel of the dead, where the bodies of de­ ceased persons brought from a distance were placed until burial. This chapel stood at the entrance of the new cemetery which had been moved to where Electa Hall, a residence of the University of Windsor, stands today on the northwest corner of Patricia Rdo and University Ave. The third cemetery was opened about 1812 where Assumption Park is now. It was described as being "partly in front of the church on the southwest sideo" To the south of this cemetery, the fourth and pre­ sent church was built in 1845. In 1850, the remains of Fathers Pierre Potier, Francois Xavier Dufaux, and Jean Baptist Marchand, and of Sister Clotilde Raizenne were transferred to beneath the churcho In about 1859 or 1860, Bishop Pinsonneault had the cemetery moved to its present site. Some of the interred remains and gravestones were transferred from the former cemeteryo One whose remains were known to be moved was that of Madame Archange StoMartin McIntosh, who died in 1827. (page 6). The remains of the Honorable James S. Baby, 1763-1833, were transferred here from Toronto, Onto, where he had been buriedo Many of the stones have disintegrated, and the old­ est one remaining, but which is not completely legible, is that of James Razoe, who died in 179(5). Of further interest is the Basilian plot (pages 28-30), with its 48 cross-shaped monumentso The Basilian Fathers had come to the parish in 18700 -ii- The present cemetery is located on the southeast corner of the intersection at Wyandotte Sto West and Huron Church Rd. Its fenced northern and western borders adjoin those streets 0 The Ambassador Bridge curves around the eastern and southern boundaries, lifting over Huron Church Rd., and continues northward to span the Detroit River. With the constant heavy traffic, and particularly the noise of the transport trucks gearing up on the bridge, it is difficult to imagine how those interred in the cemetery can rest in peacel Across Wyandotte Sto to the north lies the University of Windsor campus 0 Assumption Church stands on the southeast corner of Univer­ sity Aveo and Huron Church Rd. It is known to be the oldest parish of Ontario. Information for this history was obtained from several sources: The Windsor Border Region by Revo Ernest Lajeunesse, C.S.B.; The Township of Sandwich, Past and Present, by Frederick Neal; Assump­ tion Cemetery and Burial Records Up To 1900, by Carol Slavik and Christine Soterosforthe Windsor Public Library;and a historical brochure about Assumption Church by Elio DelColo We are especially grateful to Father Lajeunesse for providing us with additional in­ formationo Considerable effort has been made to present the inscriptions as depicted on the gravestones, and to avoid errors of any kind" However, due to the deterioration of many of the older stones, difficulties were encountered in deciphering themo Please note that errors were sometimes made by the engravers or by the persons supplying the information to the" engravers 0 Unusual spellings of names may be foundo Also, there can be more than one spelling of a surname on stones in a family plot, or even on the same stoneo Stones contained within a family plot may not be in the same row as the main stone, and are often found in adjacent rows.

Late Ordovician strata within the Cincinnati Basin record a mass faunal migration event during the C4 and C5 depositional sequences. The geographic source region for the invaders and the paleoceanographic conditions that facilitated dispersal into the Cincinnati Basin has previously been poorly understood. Using Parsimony Analysis of Endemicity, biogeographic relationships among Laurentian and Baltic basins were analyzed for each of the C1–C5 depositional sequences to identify dispersal paths. The results support multiple dispersal pathways, including three separate dispersal events between Baltica and Laurentia. Within Laurentia, results support dispersal pathways between areas north of the Transcontinental Arch into the western Midcontinent, between the Upper Mississippi Valley into the Cincinnati Basin, and between the peri-cratonic Scoto-Appalachian Basin and the Cincinnati Basin. These results support the hypothesis that invasive taxa entered the Cincinnati Basin via multiple dispersal pathways and that the equatorial Iapetus current facilitated dispersal of organisms from Baltica to Laurentia. Within Laurentia, surface currents and large storms moving from northeast to southwest likely influenced the dispersal of organisms. Larval states were characterized for the Richmondian invaders, and most invaders were found to have had planktotrophic planktic larvae.

Body fossils are rare within the Chilhowee Group, and correlations are based almost exclusively on lithological similarities. A critical review of previous work highlights the relatively weak biostratigraphic and radiometric age constraints on the various units within the succession. Herein, we document a newly discovered fossil-bearing locality within the Murray Shale (upper Chilhowee Group) on Chilhowee Mountain, eastern Tennessee, and formally describe a nevadioid trilobite, Buenellus chilhoweensis n. sp., from that site. This trilobite indicates that the Murray Shale is of Montezuman age (provisional Cambrian Stage 3), which is older than the Dyeran (provisional late Stage 3 to early Stage 4) age suggested by the historical (mis)identification of “Olenellus sp.” from within the unit as reported by workers more than a century ago.

  • Geologic Drivers of Late Ordovician Faunal Change in Laurentia: Investigating Links Between Tectonics, Speciation, and Biotic Invasions
    Geologic Drivers of Late Ordovician Faunal Change in Laurentia: Investigating Links between Tectonics, Speciation, and Biotic Invasions David F. Wright1, Alycia L. Stigall2* 1 School of Earth Sciences, the Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, United States of America, 2 Department of Geological Sciences and OHIO Center for Ecology and Evolutionary Studies, Ohio University, Athens, Ohio, United States of America Abstract Geologic process, including tectonics and global climate change, profoundly impact the evolution of life because they have the propensity to facilitate episodes of biogeographic differentiation and influence patterns of speciation. We investigate causal links between a dramatic faunal turnover and two dominant geologic processes operating within Laurentia during the Late Ordovician: the Taconian Orogeny and GICE related global cooling. We utilize a novel approach for elucidating the relationship between biotic and geologic changes using a time-stratigraphic, species- level evolutionary framework for articulated brachiopods from North America. Phylogenetic biogeographic analyses indicate a fundamental shift in speciation mode—from a vicariance to dispersal dominated macroevolutionary regime —across the boundary between the Sandbian to Katian Stages. This boundary also corresponds to the onset of renewed intensification of tectonic activity and mountain building, the development of an upwelling zone that introduced cool, nutrient-rich waters into the epieric seas of eastern Laurentia, and the GICE isotopic excursion.

  • Marcellus Shale Play's Vast Resource
    MAY 2008 The “Better Business” Publication Serving the Exploration / Drilling / Production Industry Marcellus Shale Play’s Vast Resource Potential Creating Stir In Appalachia By Terry Engelder and Gary G. Lash UNIVERSITY PARK, PA.–The shale gas rush is on. Excitement over natural gas production from a number of Devonian-Mississippian black shales such as the Barnett, Fayetteville and Woodford has reached the Appalachian Basin, where Range Resources has announced cumulative initial flow rates of 22 million cubic feet a day from seven horizontal wells in the Marcellus black shale play in Washington County, Pa. In fact, more than one company has announced or indicated flow rates in excess of 1 MMcf/d from vertical wells producing from the Marcellus Shale at other locations in Pennsylvania. These reports follow on the slow, but steady success of Equitable Resources in the Big Sandy Field of Kentucky, where 20 percent of the company’s horizontal wells in the Upper Huron black shale flow without stimulation. A review of well permits reveals that horizontal laterals in both Devonian black shale plays are directed along a line striking between northwest and north-northwest.
