    1. [BUT] Buteman staff picture 1914
    2. Hello everyone, The book Old Bute, by Graham Twaddle, includes a picture (page 28) of staff of The Buteman in the newspaper's print room. It identifies the editor, Charles STEVENSON, but no one else. The Buteman printed the picture in its Bygone Bute section on August 24, 2001, and puts names to the faces, as well as dating it as 1914. The people in the photo are A MACKIE, W MACKAY, W HEATON, J CURRIE, D MACFIE, J WHITELAW, J MACKENZIE, J McGILVRAY, D MACFARLANE, J LYLE, CHAS M STEVENSON, .... EWING, W PERSTON, Miss M ALLEN, R BAINBRIDGE, R FULTON, G TAGGART, Miss Ina McALLISTER. J Currie is John Currie, a cousin of my grandfather Archibald HILL. John, born 1872, was a compositor for The Buteman. His sisters Jane and Lizzie ran the post office at Port Bannatyne. Jane retired as postmistress in 1954. Their father, also John Currie, was a builder/stonemason. If anyone would like more details of the picture, please get in touch. Does anyone remember the Currie family? Regards Madeleine Wales
