    MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTION OF THE TERRELL FAMILY RECORDS Publication No. 194 Compiled by Colonel Lynch Moore Terrell Ca 1910-1924 This publication has been retyped from the Original Terrell Book published ca 1910 and apparently represents a compilation of letters and papers accumulated over the years by two brothers and their cousin. They were: General William Henry Harrison Terrell 1827-1884 Indianapolis, Indiana. (His brother). Colonel Lynch Moore Terrell 1834-1924 Atlanta Georgia. Their cousin. Hon. Robert Williams Carroll 1820-1895 Cincinnati, Ohio. It is presumed that the Contents of this Book were assembled by Col. Lynch Moore Terrell some time between 1910 and 1924; after the death of Lynch’s brother and cousin. There are, among many other items, five interesting letters written to and from another cousin, Edwin Terrell 1848-1910 (Ambassador to Belgium 1889-1893), San Antonio, Texas. During this period when Edwin was Ambassador, Edwin became acquainted with Joseph Henry Terrell b 1863, Keswick, England. Joseph published in 1904 the best Tyrrell book on the English Terrells. It appears that Edwin and Joseph exchanged information on Terrell genealogy for both American and English Terrells. Publication No. 194 Published by the Terrell Society of America, Inc.

  • Commemorative Program
    A PLACE TO REMEMBER A MESSAGE FROM THE TASK FORCE CHAIR WELLAND CANAL FALLEN WORKERS MEMORIAL The Welland Canal is referred to as an engineering marvel that has stood the test of time. The great link between two Great Lakes was built by men who toiled in extreme conditions to connect Canada and the United States to the growing global economy. The Fallen Workers were fathers, brothers, uncles and friends and now, their efforts will never be forgotten. As Chair of the Welland Canal Fallen Workers Memorial, I would like to acknowledge the many people who have come together to build this important monument. Through the efforts and cooperation of various levels of government, labour, the marine and shipping industry, local media and community, and led by campaign chair Greg Wight, the Welland Canal Fallen Workers Memorial is a testament to the dedication of a small group of people who came together to ensure that those lives lost so long ago, finally received their long overdue memorial. Memory slowly fades with time, but now the Fallen Workers of the Fourth Welland Canal will be remembered for generations to come.
