Hello Judy, I have gone through the 264 page Virden Story, 1957 and the 242 page Virden Review, 1970 and there is no sign of Wardell. Under Woodnorth there is only one line for Leech. "Mrs. S.E. Leech, now living with her daughter at Muir, Manitoba, gave leadership in the community, and was active in farm organizations of the formative period of the district." Under Hillside, Mayville and Scarth is..."Jack Leech, son of a pioneer family, built the Alplaza Dance Hall in 1963, just half a mile from where the school stood." Is Leach the same family... 1966 Mr. and Mrs. Robert Leach celebrated their Diamond Wedding Anniversary, December 19, when an afternoon and evening reception was held .... And ... January 1 1970, Mr. Robert Leach of The Sherwood formerly of Elkhorn, celebrated his 95th birthday. .... Or Leitch ? ...The Leitch brothers built a flour mill in Oak Lake in the eighties and farmers for many miles ... Cheers, Del
