Notables & Eccentrics

Two decades ago, North–Shore resident, Ron Welwood, created a tour of the Nelson cemetery (a place officially known as the Nelson Memorial Park Cemetery). Distributed as a brochure to locals and tourists, the tour presented a delightful, sepulchral romp though some of the notables and eccentrics who once populated this valley.

Now with my help, Ron has revisited this romp with personages both longstanding—er…, long supine—and new. The website version is available on the Kootenay Lake site at Nelson’s Cemetery. A brochure version for printing has been prepared.

Enjoy.

    Enjoyable reading and viewing. Would be enhanced by photographs of the people noted where possible.

      Thank you; a fine compliment coming from an artist. Mind you, I tend to think of my material as being of local interest only, so it is a bit unexpected to see a message coming all the way from New Mexico.
