East Ashfield Township History Book

Finally, the wait is over.   We are recording and updating the East Ashfield (County of Huron) family histories and stories.

We are looking for volunteers dedicated to preserving the “family jewels” for posterity. The first committee meeting is

October 16, at 2:00 P.M. at the Trinity Church, (Con.10/11) Belfast Road in East Ashfield.

Both experienced and novice researchers alike will be very welcomed and a great asset to the project.

As well as recording more recent history (50 years), all efforts will be made to update and correct the previous publications,

Bush Trails and Frontier Ways.

For more information you are asked to contact Marian Zinn at 519-528-3710, Bell Hackett at 519-528-2865 or

Debbie Bauer 519-529-7820 or email at wdbauer@hurontel.on.ca

We need your Help!

Please help identify these two women. On the back of the photo is written (as ownership more so than as identification)

Mrs. Myrtle Goodrick – 103 Waterloo St. Goderich. Myrtle was born 1920 died 1992 at 72 years of age.

 Myrtle (Foster) Goodrick was married to Glen Goodrick who died in 1972.  It is possible she is one of the

 two women but in order to use it, we need verification as well as the second woman identified.
