Ure's Country Kitchen & Variety Professional

It was a simple question that turned into a complex research project. In February the Marsh Historical Collection once again displayed its collection of Valentine cards from the 1920s. Included in the exhibit was a copy of a flyer from the Amherstburg Echo, January 15, 1926, which advertised 'Chateau La Danse, the new dance hall and cafeteria built by George Sellars at Malden Centre.' One of our visitors upon seeing the flyer asked, 'Where at Malden Centre was that?' Well, that did it! Now that our curiosity was piqued there was nothing left to do but start digging. What we found was both historically and genealogically significant.In 1902 Amos E. Wood moved his family from Kent County to a farm on Lot 34, 4th Concession of Malden. The Wood children were at that time as follows: Joseph, age 17; Reginald, 15; Harry, 13; Guy, 11; Willie, 2; and Lydia Jane, 1. Four more children were born in Malden: Charles, Mary, Ponty and Robert.
