My husband Don Bilodeau's father Joseph "Ralph" Bilodeau was born in Grand Marais MI, where his father Alphonse Bilodeau worked for the lumber company there until it closed, probably before this picture was taken. Then he moved his family to Nesterville, Ontario and then to Thessalon, Ontario. It's possible that he may have worked for the lumber company in Thessalon at this time. He later owned and operated the Bilodeau Dairy in Thessalon, which later became the Thessalon Dairy, when it was then owned by Alphonse's daughter Anne and her husband Alfred Egan. If I could see a larger photo of this picture, it's possible that I may be able to recognize Alphonse Bilodeau, since I have a photo of Alphonse and his family that was probably taken around this same time. Do you have any photos of the Bilodeau Dairy-I'd love to see those, if they exist! Also, my husband is a relative of William Harold King, who had at one time owned as store in Nesterville. Have you heard of "Harold" King and his wife "Queenie"? Thanks for any info you may have of these relatives of my husband.
