Epilogue

Unto the Hills

To research the history of an area is to develop a feeling of intimacy with the remarkable men and women who played a vital role in founding the community. Thus it becomes a privilege to have been able to gain an insight into their lives.

We wish to thank the following people for their assistance:

The Rev. J. Rolph Morden
The Rev. Thomas Simms
The United Church Archives
The Historical Society of the Gatineau
Mr. Wilfred Kearns
Mr. Barry Schwerdfeger

Those members of the congregation who contributed to various aspects of the narration, and those who shared their reminiscences with us.

We are especially grateful to Mr. Jack Martin who designed this book, for his many hours of tireless work.

The Authors.
