It was first printed in 1976 and a second print in 1982 by Maracle Press, Oshawa, Ontario - Typesetting - Orono Weekly Times. Helen Schmid, the co-author is still living in Orono and you may be able to contact her. > My gggrandparents settled in Clarke Twp. about 1838 having moved from > Bathurst, Lanark after five years.

On page 83 there is a mention to an Olver: "At this time period Dr. Jabez Olver was practising in Newtonville. He left in 1888 but returned to practise again until his home burned in 1896." The Durham County Newspaper Index shows: OLVER, Bernie of Sarnia, visited his uncle, John Nicholson in Pontypool, Sep 17, 1916 OLVER, Erhma Jane in Clarke, died Oct 14, 1903, aged 68 years OLVER, Eva E, only daughter of Dr. J.B.
