INTRODUCTION
(Pg. 1)
This Book 2 is a companion resource for author Gwen P. King’s first book (ISBN 978-0-9811015-9-0)
These deed abstracts describe information about the lands granted, bought and sold in the community we now know as Lorneville. These historical transactions have been discussed at length in the author’s above noted 1st book.
This new book has the same title as above but added underneath is:
The leading drone picture is a beautiful view of a small part of Opa’s Garden owned and operated by Louis Oickle and his wife, Janie who manages the shop. Shown in the background are Lorneville’s Jackson Point, the cottages and a peek at Northumberland Strait. Growing in the Garden are rows of potatoes and raspberries followed by rows of leafy veggies closer to the shop where the Canadian flag flies. On the very low right above the white RV, are more rows of leafy veggies. Opa’s Garden extends much, much further as can be seen in the distance near the Northumberland Strait on the right.
Regular office Winter hours start on Oct 15th, 2025.
