Wedderburn
A History of Wedderburn
Despite its rich history, it is not easy to find material about Wedderburn's past. In 1975, John Clements sought to contribute to changing that by researching and writing a brief history of Wedderburn. That history is reproduced here and may be downloaded for personal use or purposes of education or research.
