Provenance |
Made in Owen Sound, Grey County in 193_ (after December 1938). It records the congregation and pastors of Central United Church at 855 3rd Ave. East. The church closed in 1994, and its congregation amalgamated with a westside congregation, creating Central Westside United Church at 310 10th St. West, Owen Sound. The item was kept at the church until April 28, 2017. Daniel W. Proctor died in November, 1938. Mr. and Mrs. Parker Evans are listed (they were married in December, 1938), so the item likely was worked on in 1938 and perhaps finished in 1939? |
