Talbot Times, the society newsletter, on it’s blog at

The third article is from the 1988 June of the
Talbot Times, and it is entitled
A Tragic Accident: The Blacks of Sparta – Buried Alive and tells us about the Black family and a well in a nearby quick sand pit that was on the property, three miles east of Port Stanley.
There are also two articles entitled
St. Thomas - The Railway City, and
Hodgkinson's Corners to Troy to Aylmer in the newsletter.
As I have written before, this is an excellent idea to get people interested in your society.Treat it as a “lost leader’, like milk in a grocery store. Think of your webpage as a store, and put these articles your front page, so that people can see what you can offer them.
And don’t leave the same articles there, change them around to make it interesting to people.
