Maurice Fitzgerald, road builder

     I read this excert on page 32 in the book, "Goin' to the Corner: a history of Elmsdale" Vol.1.
     "In 1923 there were highway improvements made (( to the Western Road )) between Bloomfiel and Elmsdale.  The tender for the project were awarded to Maurice Fitzgerald of Laretta."

Holy Trinity Anglican Church at Christmas

     This photo was taken the Christmas following a summer when many repairs and improvements were carried-out to the church, churchyard and cemetery.  
     In recent years at Christmas a wreath is hung on the door even though the church is only used seasonally in summer.
