Around 1860 Thomas Wood, one of the four cattlemen who moved into the area, moved from the Vernon area to Pelmewash Lake, now called Wood Lake.

In 1960, my grandparents Howard and Marjorie Ransom moved their family (my mom, two brothers and a sister) from Vancouver Island to Winfield after purchasing the General Store on Highway 97 (it was eventually torn down and is now where the Lake Country Inn is). They lived in the house above and operated the store until 1976. During those years, my mom and her siblings all attended Winfield Elementary and George Elliott. My aunt (who is the youngest) was born in Winfield and is still a Lake Country resident today. My grandfather passed away in 1975 but my Grandma continued to run the store by herself for about another year. After selling it, she moved to a house on Cheryl Road, which she lived in for 20 years. She was a very active member in the Winfield community. She sang in the United Church choir and loved attending the craft bazaars where she quite often sold all of her wonderful handiwork. She remarried in 1978 and her and her husband (Gerry Grennier) were very involved with a square dancing club in Winfield. She decided to take up painting later in her life and she was a natural talent. She also sold many of her paintings at various arts and crafts sales. I have a wonderful painting she did of the general store hanging in my home. I was very young when my Grandma eventually sold the store, but I believe that it was a very important business to Winfield during the years they owned it. Sadly, my Grandma passed away in 2009 and I think it would be a d f l b h h d d f h f reference to our orchard heritage and different variety of names of fruits
