Oldest Waterloo cottonwood tree cut, memories fade
An ancient cottonwood planted in 1851 by Thomas Virden at the William Virden home near Park Road and St Albans Street Waterloo is being cut down. The tree shaded the family kitchen since 1851 and its loss erases a landmark linked to the Virden and Hanna families and early Waterloo settlement.
