HARDSCRABBLE 7 THE GLENARM MANUSCRIPT Because of her keen interest in history and hauling worked as Tweedsmuir History Curator of the [slay-Zion W 1, Mrs. Isabel Wessell’s long-time dream to write a history of Glenarni and Palestine communities in Victoria C0unty. finally did come true. Back in the days when Lady Tweedsmuir was encourag- ing branches to record their history. Isabel's mother-in-luw was named curator of [slay-Zion's second Tweedsmuir book. Because no Committee member could type,“lsabel” was added to the committee as typist. During the years. Mrs. Wessel]. did become Curator and that is when it all started to happen. She soon had collected all sorts of history material. driven miles in search oistories. and realized the collection of material was so extensive that the information might be compiled into a book, to be en~ joyed by the community. The country store owned by Duugald Sinclair was a true source of information about the life and happenings in the community. This typical country store, where men gathered round the old pot-bellied stove. with the spittoon near by. discussed the news and views of the day, almost as effec- tively as TV or radio, Long time residents of Glenarm. Mrs. Ferguson and Mr. Tolmie exchanged views. passed on information and verified facts. Mrs. Wessell continued to dig into the history at li- braries and the Registry Office, and constantly interviewed anyone who might know about the community‘s past. After a great deal ofsoul searching. Mrs. Wessell decided to publish a book and title it ‘Hardscrabble A The Glcnarm Manuscript'. Although she did not have a sponsor. she was confident it would sell. So with the help of her husband. Robert. as proof reader. the book was published. and now history has been shared and the community residents can read about their past. Author, Mrs. isabel Wessell, of ’Hardscrabble e The Glenarm Manuscript, is a member of ISLAY~ZION W I, BRANCH, VICTORIA WEST DISTRICT.
