The top picture on the latter page is the English Church choir 1896 and is, of course, quite different from that of today. A fire some ten years afterwards destroyed the roof and much of the building making way for the great changes of today. Of the Presbyterian choir of 1896 the same may be said. The choir loft was completely changed. The leader of the choir in this picture is Herbert Cook, who’s business, H. Cook and Company, Druggist, was very well-known in Orillia. Mr. Cook was a very prominent resident and other references are made to him in this volume.
