Notes

Leaf 1, single photograph on leaf

Photograph album leaves that have more than one photograph have the following format - a single photograph and a photograph of the album leaf to show the other accompanying photographs. Click on the Select arrow for Pages to see the other photographs on the leaf of the album to which this photograph was attached. The Pages box is located at the top of the page.

The photo album, especially the cover and back, are heavily damaged. Some damage caused by rodent chewing the edges of the album. The album pages are loose. One album page has been cut up and photos are missing. Two of the pages never had any photographs mounted on them.

See a 1932 photograph of Art Turpin in How Firm a Foundation: A History of the Township of Cramahe and the Village of Colborne in Cramahe's Digital Archives (3bk), p.177 and a reference to Sid Turpin, pp.155-156.
