Brian Glenn is a member of St. Helen’s Parish and sits on the Cemetery Board. He is also an amateur genealogist and is researching the origins of St. Mary the Virgin and its founding families, writing up the stories to honour and celebrate the long history of the church, the cemetery, and the community.
- Part One describes the origins of the church with the deed from Richard Dagg.
- Part Two tells of the pioneering families request to consecrate the church and cemetery.
- Part Three summarizes the family histories of those who petitioned for the consecration, focusing on those buried in St. Mary the Virgin Cemetery. This Part will be presented in individual chapters for the Dagg, Purdy, Bradley, Farmer, Hopkins and Taylor families.
