Greetings Bill, As you probably know by now, Country Path was once known as the main road leading from Mercer's Cove, Bay Roberts East into the Woods to the West. Today it extends from the old railway bed at the west end to the east accross the CB or Brigus Road, at an intersection beside Powell's supermarket, where the road continues to the east, and from that point the road is now called Water Street, Bay Roberts. Yesterday afternoon, at Victoria B.C., I was given a Studio photograph of a well dressed handsome man age abt. 25 yrs. The photo was made, I would guess, about 1900. The man b. 1918, who possessed the photo, suggested that it could be that of William 'Bill' Russell who accompanied his father from the Bay Roberts area to the West Coast in the late 1800's. Father Thomas worked with Bill Russell, for a short time, in the forestry industry of Northern Washington State, USA. Father Thomas returned to CB, NL for a period of time and regretted all his life that he lost contact with his 'good friend', Bill Russell. I am wondering if you have any suggestions about the possible identity of the photograph. Any response is appreciated.
