The other boulder was erected at the southeast corner of O and Potomac streets on the grounds of St. John's Church, Georgetown, D. C. It was also recommended that the boulder in memory of Colonel Beall be dedicated in the autumn of 1910, and that to Colonel Joseph Belt at a date to be decided upon later. It is hoped that these granite boulders commemorating the life and works of worthy colonial heroes may serve to testify to the high respect and esteem with which their memory is preserved by loyal descendants in the Society of Colonial Wars. There remains only to add that because of the interest of a descendant of Colonel Ninian Beall, a member of the local Society, an appropriate bronze tablet was obtained and placed on the boulder in Georgetown. An account of the exercises that formed a part of the dedication ceremony is also included in this pamphlet.
