- Scope and Content
- Photographs of members for the Frome United Church and visitors from Frome, Somerset, England. Caption from St. Thomas Times-Journal on February 20, 1950, page one: “Young Men From Frome, Somerset, Visit Frome, Elgin.” 2_3132: “The people of Frome in Southwold Township have always taken great pride in the name of their community, given it by early settlers who came from Frome (rhymes with room), Somerset, Engl., a market town of great vintage, about 24 miles southeast of Bristol. But it is a long time since there has been any direct link between the two places. It was therefore a great pleasure for members of the Frome United Church to attend a meeting of the Y.P.U at the church Sunday evening when three young men form Frome, Somerset, were present as guests of honor. They are all now living in London, Ont., having arrived during the past year and a half and found good jobs there. They appear in the above photograph, from the left, Rx Newport, now a took and die maker a Richards-Wilcox Canadian Co., London: James Gibson, of the engineering department of Richards-Wilcox; Carole Mercer, secretary of the Y.P.U., and Clayton Silcox, Y.P.C president; and Peter Thorburn, took and die maker at General Steel wares Ltd. London. Mr. Newport had been for Canada for three months, Mr. Gibson for 18 months, and Mr. Thorburn for 2 years.”
