    3. Just added some old photos to site: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NSDocpho The old train is a post card photo that was mailed from Middleton to a PO Box in Westville, Pictou. Did Westville folks pick up their mail in Pictou? The date is missing as the postcard had been cut down to fit in an album. I believe that its between 1910-1914. The train photo itself may be older. The Port George Schooner is an older photo that was among my great Aunt Cora Belle Bolser's collection. She left Port George for Boston in the 1880's. The bay packets were the transportation link of their day. Many emigrated to the States this way so maybe this was a reminder to Aunt Belle. I enlarged the photo and you can see people and cargo on the dock. Would love to see other photos so please feel free to add some. - John
