The photographs were taken in Listowel, Ontario, Canada; Watkins, NY;

1900's.
Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information
regarding this family:

Canada to parents Thomas STRACHAN (1823-1907) and Charlotte NICHOL
(1833-1889). He married Louisa

is
buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery in Canandaigua, NY. Their other children

(1880-1958).
Thomas married Martha "Mattie" GOSTLIN (1880-1951) in Toronto, Canada on 1

Elmer Thomas; Margaret J.; and Hugh Bertram STRACHAN, all born between
1905
