Bothwell's Corner WIF14
Since its inception in 1937 until disbanding in 2000, the Bothwell’s Corner Women’s Institute has been very active. From weekly radio broadcasts in the 1960s to helping establish the Grey County Museum, in addition to war relief efforts and attending W.I. rallies and conventions, this branch has made numerous important contributions to the area. Located at the intersection of Grey Road 15 and Highway 26 in the Municipality of Meaford, east of Owen Sound (formerly Sydenham Township), the Bothwell’s Corner branch served an area from Owen Sound to the 5th Concession and from Annan to Side Road 15. Their first Tweedsmuir History was begun in 1957 and each is a collection of photographs, newspaper clippings and member contributions providing information about Institute activities from inception to disbandment. Volume one includes member biographies, branch contributions, Institute anniversaries, 4H Club activities, and a record of numerous courses attended. Volume two contains wedding anniversaries, clubs, history of the Sydenham Agricultural Society Fall Fair, cemetery history, religious life, histories of local industries, local businesses, hospitals, railway, sports and recreation, local war efforts, community events, and a history of the school section. Volume three is comprised of Bothwell’s Corner village history, property histories and biographies of important people.
