Who Was Winnard Tosh of Almonte?

Winnard Tosh attended Almonte High School from 1903-1904. After receiving a diploma from Willis Business College he like others went west to seek his fortune in 1906. He later settled in California where he became co-partner in the largest labour publishing business in the United States. He returned to Almonte in 1975 to help the Almonte High School celebrate its Centennial.

 

“Many old A.D. H.S graduates attended the High School Centennial dance on August 2, 1975, renewing acquaintances. One of these was 86 year old W.R. Tosh of El Sabrante, California who spent the evening talking to old friends.” Almonte Gazette August 14, 1975

Winnard’s mother was Caroline Tosh and his Father’s name was Robert and he was born in North Lanark.
