Feb. 1909 The Evening Telegram

01-15-2021 Mailing information for the Second Edition, 'Botwood History of a Seaport' in case it wasn't seen on the previous post. Judy

This Album will follow the Anglo Newfoundland Development Co, (A.N.D. Co.) through the years (and many name changes) from c1909 until 2009 when the Mill ceased operations. The paper industry impacted our lives in Botwood and area because there were very few families that didn't have someone employed there throughout the years. The 'company paychecks' also benefited the local economy.. This is quite a large collection and a lot of these photos are undated and unidentified so I am hoping that your 'comments' will help identify them and help me correct any errors. I think it is important that all photos be correctly identified. Judy Dean Gill

ALBUM #4 FLYING BOAT ERA

This Album will center on some of our volunteer organizations and various civic events. I have tried to 'edit' some of the older photos to 'clarify' them. . Also, there are a lot of 'no names', 'no dates' and 'names of events' not stated. I am hoping that you, the viewers, will add missing information to the 'comment' sections and I will add them to the captions. I will be adding more photos to this album. Judy Dean Gill
