Hurst Wakelin Photos

Lady on left, Adelaide Hurst Wakelin. Lady on right, possibly Adelaide's sister, Mary Hurst Talbot. Lady in the middle not identified. Do you recognize her? James Lossing believes this photo was taken at the Wakelin home on East Green Street in Roberts.

Adelaide Hurst Wakelin on the right with Peanuts the dog.  Photo possibly around 1908. Anyone recognize the taller lady?  Again the location is probably at the Wakelin home on East Green Street.

So the Wakelin family home was behind where Jean Fox currently lives and where Louise Arnold used to live. This would be on the north side of East Green Street. "Church" on the corner, then looks like W. Shambrook, then W. L. Wakelin with a large lot.  Jean Fox notes on the RIH FB page about these photos with the Wakelin home that "Wakelin's house is Sara's home now..."

Diphtheria


Died, at his residence, three miles north of Roberts, Sunday evening, Jan. 25th, John McDonald. John was a young man of about twenty seven, just entering upon life when the destroyer in the shape of diphtheria laid him low. He leaves a brother, two sisters and a circle of friends to mourn his death. So passed from our midst one who was the very embodiment of health and vigor surely, "thou hast all seasons for thine own", Oh! death.
