The Rhinelander District Library is hosting the author Helen L. Laird on Monday, May 7th at 6:30 p.m. Helen is the author of the book titled A Mind of Her Own : Helen Connor Laird and Family, 1888-1982. Helen Connor Laird was the daughter of W.D. (William Duncan) Connor, who established in Connor Land and Logging in the Town of Laona when Forest County was still “at the end of the world”. Â
So far I’m only two chapters into the book but already I’ve discovered a few Forest county names: Baltuses, Aschenbrenners and Maedenwalds.  Â
