"Just over 30 years ago, Town Historian Ola M. Stockwell accepted the challenge of chronicling Westville's history, not only with historical facts, but with the names, dates, activities and pictures of people who lived in her community, past and present. This project, the first ever in Westville, was part of the nation's Bicentennial celebration. As a witness to the town's history for 92 years, and a teacher, I am sure Ola would be happy that her published work has also reached into the future to educate researchers in the 21st Century and beyond."—Susan C. McGibbon Tobias, President, Westville Historical Organization.
