There are at least four people living who were members of the first Wellington County Historical Society (1934-35). There are Mrs. Norman Wallace, Mr. C. L. C. Allinson, Mr. John McElderry, and Mrs. T. J. Hannigan.


The full list of 87 members has come to light recently and will remind us of the yeoman service done during the Depression, when these earnest historians did their utmost to save the logs of the Priory. This list is found on the last page of Volume 3 of the Society’s publications and may supply a clue by which the Guelph Historical Society can further its research.
