Manitou – Community Histories

This scrapbook, collected by William Maurice Cruthers, son of Samuel and Elizabeth Mary Cruthers, begins with his departure for school in Ontario in 1906. Later in the book, articles documenting family events from earlier times are mixed in with current, as if they were included when they came into his posession.
