Susan Andrews, from the St. Thomas Public Library, was kind enough to send me a copy of a newspaper article about the find of the mastodon tusk in West Lorne. It is from August 21, 1947. The mastodon tusk that Peter Russel donated to this project was a real treat for me and has added an extra dimension to this project. I hope you enjoy reading a bit of this history behind this artifact.
Special thanks to Susan Andrews and the St. Thomas Public Library for her help and work in providing the clipping.
