Harry Podmore and John Cleary were the originators of "Trenton in Bygone Days;" an historic column which gave incredible historic insights on local history. In many cases, old time Trenton area residents provided excellent historical information. I have an ongoing digitizing project at the Hamilton Library to preserve these "Bygone Days" columns, which will result in pristine, reproductions. Most of the hard copy of columns have been stored in scrapbooks, and over the years, the pages turned into a wrinkled mess. The Hamilton Library's digital copies will be as good and sometimes better than the originals. The above graphic is an extract from a 1937 issue of "Bygone Days." I have enhanced it by adding a mini-map of the area, and highlighted the areas discussed with the shaded areas on the map.
