Oxford County Library and Woodstock Public Library are excited to hold the 2024 Oxford Reads Gala featuring author and this year’s Oxford Reads pick, Emily Austin. Hosted by Sarah Acchione, the evening will be an intimate conversation with Emily Austin as she discusses her book Everyone in this Room Will Someday Be Dead.
A Potter's Field is the burial place of the forgotten, marginalized and stigmatized members of Ingersoll’s community who didn’t have the means to pay for a burial. This summer, a team of historians, archaeologists and students at Western are working to uncover the history of Potter's Field and tell the stories of the more than 350 community members who are buried there. This project was inspired by the digitization of the cemetery’s massive burial log, undertaken by our local history technician Vicki Brenner.
