Acknowlegggments The Orwell Women's Institute would like to thank the many ' people whose co-operation made this history possible. Wendell Boyle, Director of Orwell Corner, made available to us their Guide Training Manual and files of research concerning the 1895 period. He also permitted us to use photographs owned by the site. Barb Morgan reproduced these photographs. As well, Mr. Walter Auld, a retired employee of the Island Telephone company and author of Voices of theIsland, very generously shared results of his research into the history of the Island's telephone system. The W.I. central office kindly supplied material about the early days of Orwell W. I. Rita McKenna and Paula MacKenzie typed the paper. Many other members of the community supplied information about the histories of the farms and houses of Orwell and the people living in them. Our thanks to all of these people. -- Orwell Wel.
