Dear Sir: I am seeking information concerning my great-great- grandparents, Hugh and Mary McLean, who I have reason to believe probably died in the Bel- grave area in the 1850's or 1800's. I believe that they probably lived for a while with their son, Hector. I would be very pleased to hear from any of your readers who might have any informa- tion or suggestions. Yours very truly, John Muirhead. 0-0-0 Huronview, Clinton, Ont.

I also remember many trips to Wingham with my parents to sell our butter and eggs. Wingham, as we knew it then, 1890-1900, was quite an industrious town.

Although wages were low they employed a lot of men, But comming back to E. Wawanosh, The purpose of this letter is a suggestion to the cen- tennial committee, and this is it: That a cairn be built at Mar- noel] where the first council met in 1867. We all know that East Wawanosh came into being the same year as Confederation, so would it not be fitting to have some remembrance of the old men and women who mold- ed the country and were mold- ed by it? I invite comments on this proposal. Let us hear from you, either through the columns of The Advance-Times or by pri- vate letter. Sincerely, R.
