Petrolia Band
Here you will find pics from the collection of a Petrolia living legend, musician and friend of Heritage. None other than Mr. Norman Sutherland. I must thank Norm for access to his great collection of Petrolia Band pics. For those of you that know Norm you will be able to spot him in numerous of the groups. Hopefully someone will print the names and send them to me so I can get rid of the JPGs.

 Dear Musical Friends Attached are 14 pages of Percie Cox's biography written in 1989 by his daughter Frances (95 years old now and still living).{as of June 2015} I was given this by Joyce Trapp of London, formerly of Brigden and Petrolia . I will be sending a copy to the Lambton County archives. Mr. Cox was my first mentor and I commenced lessons with him on the E flat upright alto horn at the age of 9. This biography has filled in a lot of gaps for me. Enjoy. Norm Sutherland Percie Cox BIO click here |

Today
I was
looking at my great Aunt Ida Pequegnat's
photo album and I found these
pictures. I thought you may find them
interesting. I
have no idea
what the connection was. My father was a
Baptist pastor in Courtright back in
the 1940's, well after this photo. Allan Pequegnat |

We are always looking for vintage Petrolia pics of anything to buy or borrow for copying. If you have pictures that I can borrow I only need a few minutes to scan them.
