The TOZER Archive
Margaretta "Peg" Britton Tozer was never formally an appointed town historian but she spent her life doing the work of one. She had such a fascination for local history and genealogy that she created volumes of books documenting Westerlo History. Using the technology of her time, with a small ribbon typewriter and a film camera, she captured and documented many of the times, events and surroundings she witnessed in the town. Taking time from her busy life raising a family, countless hours were spent fulfilling her passion to record information and photos she knew would be interesting and useful to others who came after her. Her efforts, such as documenting local cemeteries for one, were the foundation of future town historians, genealogists and just plain curious folks. She would be delighted and proud to share it in this archive!
