A request by a reader prompted a hunt for the "lost" memorial stone for Bertha Whitney, a 5-year-old smallpox victim off a steamship from California. The stone is located under a poplar tree about 25 m southwest of the washrooms at Harrison Pond.
Rowan Chow, age 5, examines a stone commemorating the fate of another 5-year-old, more than 100 years ago.
