      The population of Cornwall proper by the census of 1901 was 6704, but the suburbs of Lorneville, Gladstone, Beaconsfield and Smithville account for fully 3000 more.

      For the information in the foregoing pages, we are indebted to a considerable extent to "Lunenburg," by the late Judge Pringle of Cornwall, and to "The Story of Dundas" by J. Smyth Carter of Rowena.
