Newspaper Articles of Historical Interest

This is attempting to be a collection of newspaper articles of historical (not just genealogical) significance about the history of Perth County. Many of them will also be of interest to genealogists, since pioneer families are mentioned.

I see a lot of value in these articles because they were written when some of the early settlers of the county were still alive. They draw on oral and written histories and mention many of the early families of the county's history. I feel that this needs to be preserved and passed on, even now 150 years after these settlers arrived in the area.

For copyright reasons, sources of the articles have been noted.

If you use one of these articles in your research, please cite it properly: you should cite BOTH the URL of the article, AND the original publication date and newspaper title.

This collection is under construction.
Latest addition: March 8, 2004

I did not write any of these articles. They may contain mistakes. I can attempt to add corrections in square brackets if any mistakes are pointed out to me; email me at [email protected]. Anything in [square brackets] is me talking.

Thanks to the London Public Library and the D. B. Weldon Library at the University of Western Ontario, for the use of their microfilmed newspaper collections.
