Mildred Belleghem Scrapbooks

Mildred Louise Belleghem was a life-long resident of Cooksville and a well-known local historian. In 1969 she began contributing a regular column, "A Letter from Home," to the Mississauga Review. The column, of great historical interest, ran for several years and has been organized into scrapbooks. Mrs. Belleghem died in 1997 at the age of 89.
