The
Norwegians |
| |
Norwegians
played an important role in the formative years of Whonnock and
beyond. They were people who took an active part in shaping our
community and were present in social affairs. |
| Starting
in the late 1800s, Norwegian families found their way to Whonnock.
First came the Andersons and the Nelsons (Nilsen), followed quickly
by the Lees (Lie) and later the Knutsons. |
Of a
Whonnock school class of thirteen pupils, photographed in 1912,
eight were children of Norwegians. |
