A local woman, born and raised in Shawville has written a book highlighting her grandfather’s days as a pioneer. Helen Imison Howe says her book is called Harry Imison, who came to the area in 1895 and immediately started his own photography business.
While focused on Harry Imison, Helen says the book also talks about the history of the Ottawa Valley. The book is available for purchase at Cafe 349 and Boutique Shawville Shoes. The book also features some historic photos taken by Harry Imison.
