64 years ago on May 16, 1951, a card index of 35 drawers containing the names of 35,000 historical dates, events, people and places of Southwestern bingkai foto Ontario was presented to the London bingkai foto Public Library Board by Mrs. George bingkai foto F. (Pearl M.) Hill as a donation to the library's local history collection.
This index was prepared by Mrs. Hill who spent five hours a day for a year reading and indexing every edition of the London Free Press' " Looking Over Western Ontario" column since its inception on Saturday October 8, 1921.
Mrs. Hill first had the idea that an index was necessary when she was told some information for which she was seeking was found in that column but it would be practically impossible to find. So she approached the London bingkai foto Free Press and began to index the column. bingkai foto
The bingkai foto column was inaugurated by editor Arthur R. Ford and written by local historian Les Bronson. The first article was about Peter Butler, an early Black settler at Wilberforce near Lucan, Ontario. The last column appeared in the Monday January 11, 1993 edition of the London Free Press. bingkai foto T he column was revived as "Looking Back Over Southwestern Ontario" from June 10, 2002 to November 27, 2006 by local historians, Fred Armstrong and Dan Brock.
A few years ago, Mrs. Hill's daughter visited the London Room and was amazed that the index cards were still being kept. She remembered as a child coming home after school and filing the cards alphabetically in shoeboxes for her mother to type.
Beginning in March 2015, London Public Library staff have now completed bingkai foto the scanning of the cards as a digital image and soon this index will be available for electronic bingkai foto searching by the public. bingkai foto
George Frederick Eugene Hill, 26 year old son of James Hill (1863-1933) and Annie Gard (1863-1944), born in Westminster Township On June 1, 1898, Presbyterian labourer, living bingkai foto at Rural Route # 8, London, was married on August 20th, 1924 to Pearl May Bendle, 20-year-old daughter of John Bendle and Sarah Mary Passmore, born in 1904 in London, Methodist stenographer, living at 966 Dame Street in London. They were married by Rev. A. Burgess, Baptist, at Pearl's mother's home at 966 Dame Street. Pearl's father, John Bendle died on April 20th, 1911. Pearl died in 1988 and George died in 1994. They are both buried in the Pond Mills Cemetery.
"The library was pleased to accept officially the local history bingkai foto collection and index of Dr. Edwin Seaborn, the index for the "Looking Over Western Ontario" section of the London Free Press presented by Mrs. Fred Hill and the Dr. J.W. Crane historical index of the medical doctors who have practised in Western Ontario. Together these collections represent the work of many years and a cost of some thousands bingkai foto of dollars. They are a very worthy addition to our own collections and are unique in their coverage." LPL Board minutes, June 19, 1951, p. 246.
"The library is very proud of the valuable collection of bound diaries which Dr. Seaborn placed in it some months before he died. He had a card index made for them and for the many years of the London Free Press page, "Looking bingkai foto Over Western Ontario," and we make constant use of both indexes and of the diaries." Reference Department by Miss E. Shaw, librarian in LPL Annual Report. 1951, p. 9.
"When Mrs. Hill undertook the tremendous task of indexing the complete files of "Looking Over Western Ontario," it seemed a task that would take years - if indeed it could ever be completed. But in what seemed no time at all the job was finished and Mrs. Hill was looking for new historical worlds to conquer. The card index for L.O.W.O. looked to Dr. Seaborn to be the ideal arrangement to bring his various collections into a compact group. Most of his individual volumes were separately indexed, but a card catalogue covering all the volumes would be so much easier. Would Mrs. Hill consider this additional task? She would, and gladly. bingkai foto The secretaries [Miss Anne Mason and Miss Gwendolyn Davis] were called in to look after the pr
