- Scope and Content
- Black and white photograph used in St. Thomas Times-Journal article published May 30, 1964 with caption: "Championship Plow in Replica - The McSherry plow, designed in Iona and made in Ingersoll prior to 1851 by James McSherry, won a medal as the best plow in the world at the World's Fair in London, England. A replica of the plow, shown here, made on the same design, has been located on a Lambeth farm. It is to be donated to the Elgin County Pioneer Museum in June. The donor, who wishes to remain anonymous, acquired the plow about 12 years ago. A relative used the sod-turning equipment as late as 1939 in an Elgin County plowing match."
