DEDICATION

In October 1979;, co-incidem‘ly with the arrival of the
first settlers to this area in 1879, the McConnell Women's
Institute resolved to gather together a history of this area,
including Viola Dale and Ellenville. .

Everyone has been involved in the sense that they
have written up family histories. We have been assisted on
post records by senior citizens of McConnell. _

We, with fond memories'and appreciation, dedicate
this book tothe pioneers and families to follow, providing
a record of the past and remembering McConnell with
love.

Our thanks to all who sent histories and pictures,
contributed community events, and to Nora McConnell for
her sketches, and to “New Horizons".

' We regret any omissions of peopie or places and any
unintentional errors.
