[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Edenwald - EdenWold spelling

[gpvjem]

    In 1890 when the place under discussion was established as an official post office it was then called Edenwold.  It is at this point where some pen pusher in Ottawa may have made the switch

Excerpts from a history written for the 75th Anniversary of st. John's 
Evangelical Lutheran Church, Edenwold, September 26, 1955.  (Note where 
both spellings were used)

"From the headquarters in Edenwold, Pastor Schmieder served the 
communities of Longlaketon, Strassburg, Davin,  Kronau, Neudorf,  
Regina, Rosthern, Dunmore and even Edmonton district.

On Sunday, September 7, 1890, the settlers organized a congregation, and 
it was called St. John Lutheran Congregation of Edenwald.  The 
membership consisted of 17 families."

Excerpt  from  "The Edenwald District and the Synod"  by Dr. Richard 
Hordern (Not dated)

"But what was Edenwald and why am I not spelling it as 'Edenwold'?  That 
second spelling came in later, especially after the townsite laid out in 
1911, was given that name.  But even after that date the Edenwald parish 
register I have been working with continues to spell the district 
'Edenwald'.  Only once or twice does the spelling 'Edenwold' seem to 
slip in."
