Hello,
In addition to working on my own family tree, I enjoy working on local history projects in my community. I sometimes come across old photographs etc., in thrift shops or antique stores, and I try to reunite them with interested family members if I can, free of charge, of course. I have been trying to send this one home for a little while now. If you have Graham relatives who once lived in Simcoe County, Ontario, have a look. Here is a story I wrote about the photo and its possible subject.

Hi Mary,
Well done you for trying to unite Robert/Bob with family.
What would be the cost of having a portrait taken and mounted in a frame from that era, have you any idea ? Wouldn't have thought it would be cheap.
Here are details of another which might or might not be worth adding to your list of those researched.
I haven't had a good look yet but did come across a Captain Robert Graham who was born in Creemore 9 March 1879 - died 19 February 1950 (aged 70 years), Niagara Falls, Niagara Regional Municipality, Ontario. Appears on FIND A GRAVE
