The Historic Limestone Quarry on Green Head Island in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada
The historic limestone quarry on Green Head Island in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada Randall F. Miller1* and Diane N. Buhay2 1. Steinhammer Palaeontology Laboratory, Natural Science Department, New Brunswick Museum, Saint John, New Brunswick E2K 1E5 Canada 2. University of New Brunswick, Saint John, New Brunswick E2L 4L5 Canada *Corresponding author <[email protected]> Received 28 November 2013 ¶ accepted 11 January 2014 ABSTRacT Lime, or quicklime, is produced from carbonate sedimentary rocks like limestone. Lime is then used for a variety of purposes in building construction, agriculture, medicine, steel manufacture, and paper-making. By the 19th century, manufacture of lime for mortar and plaster was a significant part of the economy in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. Amongst the many quarries and kilns, the operation at Green Head Cove on Green Head Island was among the industry leaders. The Green Head quarry was probably used in the early 1700s or earlier. For many of its busiest years during the 1800s, the quarry was operated by Joseph and Frank Armstrong and was well known throughout the Maritimes and New England as a producer of a high quality product. Joseph Armstrong was referred to in contemporary newspaper stories as a pioneer in the New Brunswick lime industry. The Green Head quarry ceased production in the early 20th century and the site on Green Head Island now preserves the last vestiges and perhaps best example of this once thriving industry. RÉSUMÉ La chaux, ou chaux vive, est extraite de roches sédimentaires carbonatées comme le calcaire. On en fait divers usages, par exemple dans les secteurs de la construction, de l’agriculture, de la médecine et de la fabrication d’acier et de papier.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.
