Candlelight vigil honours war dead
County museum annually hosts vigil to honour 502 Wellington residents who paid the ultimate sacrifice
ABOYNE – Hundreds of county residents attended the candle light vigil held at the Wellington County Museum and Archives on Nov. 10.
Some placed candles beside markers showing the names of friends and relatives.
Others, with no direct connection, came to honour the sacrifices made in war and to remember all the fallen.
The previous day, the county held a service, with the help of Legion officials, to pay homage to the 502 Wellington County residents who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the First and Second World Wars, Korea, Afghanistan and in service to NATO.
