Petrolia- Canada’s Victorian Oil Town
Welcome to Petrolia, Ontario
The development of this website is a humble attempt on my behalf to celebrate and bring awareness to the unique history and heritage of Canada’s Victorian Oil Town– Petrolia, Ontario.
Celebrating Our Community of Faith in Alvinston, Ontario 1874-2014
History of Guthrie Presbyterian Church As early as 1866, student missionaries held services in Cameron Church (Euphemia Township) and the Log Church (Brooke Township) as well as in the school and homes of Alvinston, Ontario. When the new railway drew more people to Alvinston, London Presbytery appointed Rev. Archibald Stewart of Burns Church, Mosa Township, to moderate a meeting of the sessions mentioned above to start a congregation in Alvinston. The first church, a white frame building, was built on Church Street in 1873; the first sacrament observed on June 7, 1874. In 1879, the first Alvinston Elders were Peter McDiarmid, John McPhail, Neil Campbell, E.G., Elliott, and Angus McKinlay.
Welcome to the S.S. NERISSA Website This website is a collection of pages dedicated to the men and women who lost their lives on the S.S. NERISSA on April 30, 1941. All of us who have contributed to this site hope you will find it interesting and informative. The story is long overdue of being told, and as readers will see, this is an essential part of Canada’s WW2 military history. The NERISSA was the only troopship to lose Canadian troops en route to England in WW2. ( You ask why under Lambton member Ann Hentschel took part in most of the research and gathering of the history putting together this web site )
