    I •• THE ANGLICANS OF KAKABEKA FALLS This manuscript is the result of a conversation I had with Mrs. Ada Elms (formerly Mrs. Ada Cardi ff, nee Chadwell) of Thunder Bay who expressed to me her desire to write a history of The Church of the Messiah, Kakabeka Falls, Ontario, using the materials she had gathered, and I offered to help her. We are grateful to the contacts we made, while researching the history of the Church, especially Janet Currie, George and Eula Bruce, Eldred and Pat Rose, Archdeacon Mark Conliffe, Fr. Michael Lawson, other clergy, the Diocesan Archives in Sault Ste. Marie, Sharon Martyn (Deputy Clerk-Treasurer of Oliver Township), Irene and Herb Sovereign, Betty Sand, Jim Edgar, Bert and Laura Sitch. Thanks also to my wife, Merle, for reading the manuscript and offering improvements. One group of women, although not mentioned by name, yet having an extremely import ani place in the work alongside their husbands, was the wives of the clergymen. They also baked and sewed, attended, and supported the Church and Parish as did so many parishioners, helping the members to be a "Family of God." Apologies are given to those whose names are not mentioned in the record. We hope that they, too, may have their secret satisfaction of having played a part in the life of this Anglican Fellowship. Rev. Robert F. Brown, Thunder Bay, 1991. Mrs. Ada Elms passed from this life into the larger Fellowship of the Communion of Saints on January 6th (The Epiphany) 1992. (RFB) ce.
