BARNARDO HISTORY BEING COLLECTED

The stories you are about to read have been taken from the Banner County, History of Russell & District 1879 - 1967. The collection of stories were put together and published by the Russell Women's Institute in co-operation with the Russell Chamber of Commerce.

I would like to thank the Russell Women's Institute for allowing us to bring you their stories and I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. Check back for updates, as there are more stories yet to come.
