Augusta Florence King nee Snow was a member. She was the wife of Dr. Frederick King who was responsible for getting the Dominion Observatory built, although he died before it was born. Augusta and Fred lived in Observatory House at the Experimental Farm. I believe it was he that donated the boundary post; I know he DID donate a boundary post. Fred was part of the party that surveyed the boundary line between the U.S. and Canada in the mid to late 1800s. They had a daughter who was a member as well. Florence and Fred were my great aunt and uncle.
