The Codys New Brunswick Digital Library is a venue for sharing families and communities stories past and present. Every family and rural community can cultivate it own history, providing living people with meanings inherited from the people of the past. One doesn't have to be a history buff to truly appreciate the stories and events that have made a place what it is today. Take a trip back in time with this collection of digital images of Codys history and development, a continually transforming community. Preserving history, one image at a time. Featured Digital CollectionsWhen he was 40 years old, Michael Hetherington would visit Codys occasionally to visit the family graveside of his grandparents Arthur Palmerston Hetherington, Sr. and Dorothy Ardis (Robinson) Hetherington and maintain the family cemetery, at the request of his father. His visits lead to questions about the burial of other Hetherington's in the graveyard. Michael's parents were the answer to his questions that inspired his passion to learn about his family history. Years later, Michael borrowed from Queens County Heritage several boxes containing file folders of pictures, old letters, papers, and writings belonging to his grandfather, A. P. Hetherington; donated by the Hetherington family to Queens County Heritage, as it was believed that there would be no interest in the family to keep these items. Michael's desire to learn more of his family history, and the community of Codys, is the transcription and compilation of his grandfather's writings through a book: A Collection of Memories and Short Stories, by Arthur Palmerston Hetherington, Sr. Michael takes pleasure in travelling to Codys to maintain the family cemetery and visit family that continue to reside in the community of Codys. Michael and his wife, Cathy, own a small family business In Loving Memory Monument Restoration - headstone restoration and cleaning. Photo: Hetherington, Michael.
