Money raised over the years by public subscription to build a memorial to him was used in 1933 to create a public park. The maple tree outside his Leslieville home is “pampered” by the Toronto parks department because of its association with his song.” — from the <a href="#//www.biographi.ca/009004-119.01-e.php?&id_nbr=6946" rel="nofollow"> Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online Letterpress on paper label laid down on album page below print: ”Alexander Muir at about 25 years of age, wearing his Scotch plaid.
