SUMMARY:Oakland Cemetery Memorial
DESCRIPTION:“Beyond the gates of the cemetery lives an historical account of our past\, a rich heritage populated by friends and relatives.  Loved ones who can no longer be with us\, but whose memories live on.”  – Josh Kekosz.   \n  \nEach year the historical society honours those who came before us.  On July 24\, 2022\, the   Cemetery Memorial Service was held at Oakland Cemetery\, which was opened May 1894 by a group of ten men who formed a Board of Directors.   \n  \nFive acres was purchased from a local farmer in Mosa Township and surveyed into plots of 16 feet X 16 feet.  These plots were purchased by families.  One plot had room for 8 burials.  The first burial was Thomas Hopkins in May 1894.      \n  \nThe community was previously served by small family plots and St. Andrew’s (Graham) Cemetery at 112 Main Street Glencoe (Concession 1\, Lot 1). St. Andrew’s eventually contained approximately 500 burials between 1841 – 1931.  It still exists and is classified as ‘abandonned’.   \n  \nAfter the new Oakland Cemetery opened and families started purchasing plots\, new stones were installed and the names of beloved previously deceased family members were commemorated.  This could explain why there are 175 inscriptions whose dates of death  are prior to May 1894. \n  \nRecords are poor but we surmise that sometimes stones were moved to the new Oakland.  Sometimes the stones might have been buried or lost from their original  family plot locations.  And what of the bodies?  We guess that bodies probably remain in their original resting places.  It seems doubtful if they would have  been disinterred and moved  \nLink to interactive G&DHS Cemetery Map.     \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:1917- A Year that Shook the World.  Featuring Al McGregor
DESCRIPTION:Join Al McGregor who will take us back to WWI. He has written a great historical novel and will give us the story behind the story.\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\n\n\nhttps://zoom.us/j/91880326261 \nMeeting ID: 918 8032 6261 \nCanada is changing. Munition production is one of the largest industries. Women are taking a place in the factories. Returning veterans grapple with their future. Halifax is shattered by explosion. And\, a proposal that had it been accepted would have changed the destination of the snowbirds of today. \n1917 dawns as the third year of chaos in the First World War. In the next 12 months the world will be shaken by apparent stalemate on the battlefield; the Russian Revolution and the growing role of the United States in international affairs. \nCanadians take pride in the capture of Vimy Ridge but recoil in horror at the mounting causalities on the battlefields of France. The demand for more fighting men will touch off a political crisis over conscription and the fear of a badly divided country. \n\n\n\nAl McGregor is a local author specializing in historical fiction. His books are based on the Canadian experience with an emphasis on Southwestern Ontario. \nThe former television anchor\, reporter and producer builds on an extensive background in research and writing to recreate the various era’s that attract his attention. Pre-covid\, he often delivered presentations on the books and the writing process. His home is in rural Elgin County. For more information www.almcgregor.com \nFacebook link

SUMMARY:Underground Railroad Code
DESCRIPTION:Underground Railroad quilt code: fact or fiction.  \nPresented by quilter\, Micki Angyal.  \n7:00 p.m. The Archives\, 178 McKellar Street. Glencoe.     \nAfter the U.S. Congress passed the Compromise of 1850\, the law forced free northern states to return escaped slaves.  Conductors like Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass led many escapees to Canada. The journey north was not easy. Secrecy was necessary for escape and information could only be passed by word of mouth\, using codes\, signs and signals created by slaves. One such code was using quilts.  Various blocks in the quilts gave the slaves clues as to where they had to go. \nMicki Angyal will select 10 quilt blocks and explain the code and meaning of each pattern.  Join us to learn about the mystery of how quilts may have helped  those travelling North.
