Never before has there been a written history of West Wawanosh Township but now a group of people have undertaken the monu­ mental task of compiling data to produce a history of the township. The book will be edited by Rhea Hamilton-Seeger, the Deputy Reeve of West Wawanosh. Mrs. Hamilton-Seeger writes for the Rural Voice. The history book committee is looking for input from residents of the township, past and present. Any information, stories, photos or histories anyone might have would be greatly appreciated. The book will go back to when Wawanosh began, even before it was divided into East and West in 1867. Feature articles or family or farm history should be written by the submitter. Photographs can be copied immediately or will be kept in a safe place until redeemed. It is the desire of the committee to have the book completed by the 125th year, which is 1992, so they need everyone’s assistance and participation in this venture.
