Jim, Lones, and Skippy, beautiful work and colour, thank you!
You have made him look very distinguished indeed! Each version brings out the best in my ancestors!

James was a farmer in Bruce County married to ElizaMcIntosh who's photo has also been beautifully restored. I think this must be around the time he remarried in 1902.

Can't thank you enough!  :D
Kate

I like the colours Jim! He has aquired a fantastic wardrobe of suits and ties.
It's interesting that all versions show him sporting reddish hair. His son's hair had shades of auburn too.
Many thanks  :D
