Where History Lies – The Dundee Township Historical Society presented by Marge Edwards

 

 

Marge Edwards has been a member of the Dundee Township Historical Society for 4 decades. She has served as President, Program Coordinator, and Newsletter editor over the years. Her interest in history began in her childhood and she cannot get enough of it.

All across our country, along the highways and the forgotten back roads, there are cemeteries, grave yards and burial grounds. These places have stories to tell, not just of people who died but of people who lived.

There are epitaphs with messages of sadness and humor. So many stories are lying beneath the soil, waiting to be told.
