Nancy Kale introduced the speaker for the
evening, Mr. Sam J. Scott of Roxboro. Mr.
Scott was born at Maitland Wells Farm and
is the 4th generation of the Scott family to
live there. Being keenly interested in family
and local history, he has put a history of the
Scott and Dickson families together titled
"Musings". During the depression the fami-
ly could not afford a tractor so while resting
the horses during plowing, Mr. Scott's
father would tell him stories•of the family
and area. Therefrom grew his interest in
family history. When his father .died, he
began to think of writing these stories down
to preserve them for future generations,
When the first two Scotts and the first two
Dicksons came to Canada together, they
had no idea how to feed themselves, find
shelter from the elements, etc. in this new
wilderness and were taken in by the local In-
dians and fed and sheltered for the first
winter. •
The next regular meeting will be held
Wednesday, July 8th 1July 1st being a holi-
day 1 and will feature Laurena Storey from
London who will give tips on library resear-
ching. Guests are most welcome.
