I guess you don't know how it arrived in your shop? Here's the link: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=2653085&id=135428561771 Thanks for posting. I'll be sure to pass this on to my Peer relatives. Next time I'm in Farmersville, I'll have to drop in and see you. My family used to visit Athens to see my Aunt Alma (Richards) and to stay at a cottage on Charleston Lake. Man that was a lifetime ago. regards John Hi Ben;

I found your site by looking up Falkner out of interest for Athens history, but it also looks to me that my photo is of the same couple pictured on this page (William Peer and Minnie Cooper.) I thought it was cool to see something from an Athens business I hadn't heard of. Now very cool to find this site! I've posted it in a Facebook album called Stuff@Sundial. Follow the link on our website if you want to see it.

This may not mean much but I live in North Augusta, the village where Jos. Fournell had his studio. I don’t know a lot about the man. He still has relitives living in and around the area. I would love to get photos taken by Jos Fournel of buildings in and around the North Augusta area. i’m trying to put together a scrap book of the history of North Augusta. If you or anyone has information on these photos please contact me at johnvan18 [ AT ] yahoo.ca. Thank you John Vander Velde North Augusta, Ontario, Canada I have changed my e-mail address from my previous message.

A quick search on Google came up with another Jos. Fournell photo at DeadFred.com http://www.deadfred.com/surnamePersR_05.php?ID=49073 And here is a census portrait of the photographer's family in North Augusta in 1870: http://ontariocensus.rootsweb.com/transcripts/804-19.html Well, I guess posting your comment is a good start.

Whenever a date is written on a photo I back it up as best I can with census records or other documents. Dating old photos is a fascinating subject.
