Born in Toronto, Ella Cora Hind came to Winnipeg in 1882. Winnipeg's first public stenographer, she was a legal secretary from 1884 to 1891, and established her own typing bureau in 1893. Active in the Women's Christian Temperance Union, a founding member of the Manitoba Equal Franchise League, and the Political Equality League, she contributed to the campaign which gained Manitoba women the right to vote in 1916. After 1901 she gained renown as the agricultural editor of the Free Press, and an active member of many agricultural associations. Her analyses of crop yields, livestock breeding, food production and international marketing gained her an international reputation. Her commitment to efficient farm and market management, made her influential in the increasingly complex economy of the prairie west.

The Branch calls these plaque inscriptions and says they reflect the time they were written; TreeAlive has not compared them with the plaques themselves, so a plaque may read differently.

The Articles of Confederation marker in Pennsylvania stands under a mile from where William Gabby lived in the 1760s.

What that marker records spans 1777 to 1789, overlapping William Gabby's years there.
