Notes
This is an image of a family in front of their house. Mr. J. Mortimer is seen standing on the side of his porch, and presumably his wife is sitting on the porch while his daughter sits in front of them in a chair on the grass. Mr. J. Mortimer was a miller in Arva.

The girl in this photo is presumably Una M., as labelled on reesor023. She is pictured in reesor001, reesor023, and reesor024. Una is presumably the daughter of J. Mortimer, a miller in Arva, as labelled in reesor002 and reesor011. In these photos, his young daughter is sitting in a chair in the front, and standing in front of him, respectfully. If Una is his daughter, than reesor001, reesor023, and reesor024 appear to all be taken in the dirt pile behind her family home pictured in reesor002.

This photo belongs to the Reesor Collection, which is a group of photos taken by Milton W. Reesor, a local amateur photographer. He took many photos of friends, family, animals, outdoor activities, machinery, the railway, and more in and around St. Marys from 1898-1910.
