Book of Remembrance
By Gow Harvey (1923-2008) Published by The Plattsville & District Heritage Society with the financial support of The Ontario Trillium Foundation in 2004. 230 pages. $55 hardbound | $25 softcover In casting about for a suitable project to mark the Millennium, students and staff at Plattsville & District Public School decided that their town should have its own cenotaph honoring those from the area who had died while serving in Canada’s Armed Forces during World War I and World War II. To that end, the students from both the Plattsville & District Public School and Plattsville Christian School raised the funds needed to erect a cenotaph in the park. Some citizens also generously donated. In keeping with the sentiment behind the cenotaph, and to preserve the memory of those who had served in Canada’s wartime military, Gow thought that a Book of Remembrance recording the names and a brief history of all who served from Plattsville, Bright, Chesterfield and Washington, Ontario would be helpful. The book provides such information that he was able to locate for the 220 local men and women who served in World War I (1914-1918), World War II (1939-1945), and the Korean conflict (1950-1953). |
Once Upon A Time In Washington
By Jennifer Harvey (1928-2017) Published by The Plattsville & District Heritage Society with the financial support of The Ontario Trillium Foundation in 2008. 204 pages-histories of Washington and the homes and families within. $55 hardbound | $25 softcover Today, at the start of the 21st century, Washington is a quiet place, a crossroad with a few houses, a church, and an old school (now the Masonic Lodge). A small creek winds its way south of town and there is little to indicate that this had once been a community of some importance, with thriving businesses and a growing population. This was Washington, Ontario, in the Township of Blenheim, in the County of Oxford, as it might have looked a century and a half ago. |
