Last week I shared the above old photo of my great-uncle Arthur from Norwich, Ontario. During tough times his garden helped to feed close relatives who lived close-at-hand. One of the relatives was my mother and she later wrote a story about Arthur’s generosity.
And on Monday I was given the photo below. Amazing. It is great-uncle Arthur Catton and his wife, and it is the only original photo I possess of this kind-hearted couple.
I learned that great uncle Arthur and his wife are celebrating their fiftieth wedding anniversary in their backyard. ("1894 - 1944" is written on the back of the picture and several flower baskets fill the foreground). I was also told which house on Main St. was theirs by someone who had known them.
I asked if I shared a family resemblance and was told I look more like another uncle who still lives in Norwich, my hometown. I’ll check on that after I grow out my moustache.
