Dear Susan, et al, When I replied to your question about where Our Lady of Angels Seminary was I mentioned those schools that might have been 11 miles below Suspension Bridge and suggested that maybe your ggrandfather might have meant 11 miles SOUTH of Suspension Bridge. But guess what! I FOUND it! It was his reference to11 miles that threw me. According to the book, "Souvenir History of Niagara Co." by the Pioneer Association of Niagara Co., 1902, pg. 33, it says this: "Niagara University, on Monteagle Ridge, in the Town of Lewiston, dates back to 1855, when Rev. J. J. Lynch, C.M., afterward Archbishop of Toronto, established the Seminary of Our lady of Angels on the Niagara River, about two miles below Suspension Bridge. On May 1, 1857, Father Lynch secured funds to purchase an old inn which stood on the highest point of Monteagle Ridge, and opened the institution on that date. On April 20, 1863, a charter was obtained. Several priests were associated in the management and the Seminary began to prosper. On December 5,1864, the building was nearly burned to the ground, one student perishing in the flames. Prompt measures were adopted for rebuilding, Pope Pius IX, contributing $1,000, and the Seminary reopened with 150 names on the roll in September, 1865. . . In 1883 the institution was erected into a university, under the name of Niagara University . . . ;its original name and individuality, however, are still preserved in the Department of Arts and Theology." So, Susan, how do you like them apples?? :-) Your ggrandfather had attended Niagara University!! vee
