Rodney

 
Location:  Elgin County     N 42 33.986   W -81 40.857
207 Furnival Road, in front of the library.

Two brass plaques on the front of the local library pay tribute to the twenty-two local heroes lost in the two World Wars.  Rodney is a small farming town, like many others across this great nation who were drastically touched by the war across the oceans.  Sadly, many of the young men who went to war never returned, these plaques are a permanent reminder of their sacrifice.
