This photo of the Peer Family of Eastern Ontario (Elizabethtown Township, near Brockville) was saved by my mother, Della Jean Charlton (nee Connell), seated in front on the far left. The Peer Reunion took place at the home of George and Margaret Rowesome at Jellyby, Leeds County, Ontario.

Standing second and third from left are my grandparents, Ethel May (nee Richards) and Delbert Connell. Standing second from right, by the hand pump, is their son Gerald Carson Connell. Immediately to his left is Mary Lillian Spicer (nee Peer).

Beside my mother (seated on the grass on the left) is a man with a baby. The woman behind them is Jewell Glenora MacGregor, the daughter of Katherine Matilda Peer aka Kitty Peer. Going strictly by the body language, I suspect the man is her husband and the baby, her child.

Kneeling to the right of the man with the baby is George Rowsome and seated beside him also with a baby is Lucy Adeline Richards (nee Peer), Ethel May’s mother.

According to their great grand daughter, Pamela Vittorio, the gentleman in suit and tie standing behind the children is Reuben Peer Jr. with his wife Florence Mabel Peer.
