Description
Thomas family homestead (farm) was located at Mount Pleasant, ON. People in the picture are James Madison "Matt" Thomas (1844-1908) and his wife (seated) Martha Thomas, nee Secord (1843-1924). The woman standing is one of their seven daughters, Orpha May Thomas (1875-1942). The crop is believed to be watermelons, which were the tending chore for one of their other daughters Edythe Gertrude Thomas (1884-1969), who was the grandmother of Ross Dobson, who provided this photo and identification.
