Linda Casserly became the Canton Historian in 1995, after she retired from 20 years of serving as the deputy clerk and tax collector. She is helping people with genealogy questions, and working on projects with the public (high school and college students, and senior citizens). One such project she is helping students with, involves gathering material for a book about WWII featuring actual accounts from those remaining veterans who are willing to share stories of their lives and their war experiences.
