Cherry Grove WIF68
The Cherry Grove WI was established in 1918 and operated until 1940, disbanding to become a branch of the Markdale Red Cross at the beginning of the Second World War. In 1953, members from the Rosedale Women’s Institute met with members of the disbanded Cherry Grove Women’s Institute to create a new branch: the Cherry Dale Women’s Institute, whose history is included in these two volumes. Cherry Grove is located in the southwestern portion of the former Euphrasia township (now part of the Municipality of Grey Highlands), roughly from lots 1 to 10 in the 10th and 11th concessions, east of Highway 10. During its years of service, under different names, the institute contributed to many charities and relief efforts, donated materially and financially to the school section and was instrumental in the development of area Sunday school services. Volume one contains the history of the institute and its members, in addition to various articles and photos depicting local events and people. Volume two contains, primarily, histories of area properties.
