A TWEEDSMUIR HISTORY IN PRINT For some time back, Birr Women‘s Institute in Middlesex county had a Tweedsâ€", muir history which was used so much as a reference book by teachers, local university students and others that it began to wear out. So the Institute decided to have the history extended to tell a very comprehensive story of the community and to have it pubâ€" lished so that its information would be available to anyone interested. The book entitled, "Birr and Beyond" was compiled by Mrs. Jgnnie Raycraft Lewis, an Institute member and a writer of some experience. Mrs. Lewis unearthed and wrote a good deal of the history herself, several sons and daughters o f thg community ‘ made their contribution from research or from memory, and the well known hlstorlap o f 0 the London area, Mr. Wilfrid Jury, supplied the early Indian history of the locality. The "Birr and Beyond" book carries many illustrations. Like most Tweedsmuir books, it tells the stories of the families and farms and schools gnd churchgs, o f cemeteries and tollâ€"roads and the industries that have either per81§ted or disappeared through the years, and of course the story of the Birr Women‘s Institute. In paper covers, the price is $1.00; in hard covers $2.00; obtainable from Mrs. Clarence Lewis, R. R.
