A great example of a portrait photograph. This picture was taken around 1890. The subject's name was E. Lockett. He was a music teacher in Strong Township. His students were mainly pioneer children.
This is a portrait of an elderly gentleman, named Edmund Milo Vanmeer. He's seated next to a table, holding a photograph and sitting on a bear rug.

This man was a civil servant, aka jack-of-all-trades, in Sundridge. His name Arthur Church. He was a busy guy. He was a: Post Master, Town Clerk, Notary of the Public. and Justice of the Peace.
This is a picture of Sidney Morris in winter garb. He is wearing a double-breasted jacket and a fur hat. In his right hand is a cane. On the right is a plant and a fireplace. The picture was taken around 1910.
Probably the most interesting picture in this group. The man in the photograph is Abel Dennis. He's sitting in a chair in a photography studio. The interesting part of the picture is what Abel is holding...half a dozen recently caught fish. Which means either Mr. Dennis went fishing in his three-piece suit or took the fish home got changed and then went to the studio.
