IZATT FAMILY PHOTOS – ELPHIN ONTARIO & SOURIS MANITOBA :

This photo collection is now in the Lanark County Archives.
121 Photos, only a few identified.

This collection of photos was found incorporated into a mouse nest, inside an old suitcase in the landfill at the McDonalds Corners municipal dump. Many of the photo locations are farms and other rural areas, and except in a couple of cases, not enough background is shown to identify their location. Some photos show town or city houses, and in one case, what seems to be a large city school. One photo almost certainly was taken in downtown McDonalds Corners, Ontario, and another is of a class at the Elphin school. I'll need your help to identify the others. Studio photos were taken in Perth and Brockville, Ontario, while others were taken in Manitoba at studios in Brandon and Winnipeg, and yet another is from "Irvine" with no state or province given. In addition, a photo booklet, "The Town Of Souris", was found with the photos. Only a few people are identified; they are: Lyle Keith Bulloch, Essie and Meda Caldwell (identified as being from Watsons Corners), Robert Carmichael, Robert John Ferguson, John Fletcher (photo taken in Irvine), Mrs. Allan Izatt, and Mary Rae Kellie. This collection presents a fascinating puzzle – about the only thing that can be assumed is that the people shown here are connected in some way to the Izatt family – relatives, friends or neighbours.

Up to about 1900 Playfairville boasted several saw mills and even an iron mine. All that remains now is the church and three or four houses.

There are two sets of photos here – the first set is a formal portrait, about 1912-14, of the Charles Stone family, plus a photo, date unknown, of one and possibly two of Charles Stone's sons as members of Perth Collegiate Institute's hockey team. The others were taken at the wedding of Etta Belle Stone to William Lawrence on 17 June, 1914. Members of both families are present in the wedding photographs, but it's not immediately clear how they are related.
• Unknown school class, but almost certainly Lanark County. Probably Beckwith, Ramsay or Drummond Townships. Seems to be about 1890's. The children are well-dressed, so it may be a school in Carleton Place.
• Unknown school class. Probably Lanark County and most likely Lanark Village, Middleville or Hopetown. Looks like 1940's to 1950's. This shows the complete photo.
  • Enlargement of above photo showing the students only.
• Unknown school class. Unknown location. The wall behind the children is of stone and they are for the most part well dressed, so this is possibly a large town or a city school – Kingston? Ottawa? Perth? Brockville?. A very fragile and fragmented photo.
• Two unknown classes, about 1920 Both photos taken at the same school, as the outside entrance behind the students has the same brickwork. Two students are identified as "Bill" and "Hilda". And I'm guessing at the era – can you identify even when the photos were taken?

Four photos show recognizeable people, but only one – Robert P. Harper – is completely identified. Buchanan, Erwin, Mills, Riddell, & Trombley are mentioned but not explicitly identified.
