Message from HCHS President 2006
This edition of Notes is two years late, due in part to
the tyranny of the urgent. Over the span of five years, it
seems all the towns and villages in Huron County have
been preparing for their 125th anniversaries, many of them
arranging for local histories and updates. Our resources
truly became stretched. To the fans of Historical Notes
and to new readers, our apologies and our hope that this
edition was worth the wait.
Huron County Historical Society was begun in 1924,
ceased meeting in the thirties – "it lived briefly but died of
neglect" according to Gavin Green, a local wag at the
time. It was reborn in 1964 under the guidance of Susan
Muriel Mack, librarian of the Crediton Public Library and
strong supporter and contributor to the Womens' Institute
movement. She became the Society's first 1960's
president. In 1965, the first edition of Historical Notes
was published and its annual appearance is anticipated by
the Society's stalwarts and supporters. This is the 41st
edition.
All is well with the Society, but as with most other
volunteer groups, it needs membership and leadership
invigoration periodically. Our general meetings are lively
and informative with quality speakers and presentations of
local historic interest. The 2006 council was composed of
the following dedicated volunteers to whom the Society
owes a round of thanks. Past-chair Deb Bauer, secretary
Nancy Hughes, treasurer Mac Campbell, Notes editor
Rhea Hamilton-Seeger, archivists Isobelle Bissonnette and
Ted Turner, memberships Elaine Snell, councillors David
Armstrong, Glen Gardiner, Brock Vodden, and Rosalind
Ward.
If any of you have queries about the Society or archives, please use the current information on the contact HCHS page.
Ralph Laviolette, Chair 2006-2008
