Caleb Tugwell Family Group
Photo taken c 1904 - family of Caleb Tugwell b 1843 and his wife Mary b 1845 (nee: Gratton).
From Left to Right:
Mabel Tugwell (nee: McGinn) wife of Thomas Irvine, Thomas Irvine Tugwell b 1882, Christina Tugwell (nee: Kirkpatrick, wife of John Tugwell, on Christina's knee is their son, Gordon Tugwell, Tilly Tugwell daughter of Caleb and Mary , Hannah Miller (nee: Tugwell) who married Samuel Miller, Arlene Miller daughter of Hannah and Samuel Miller, Fred Tugwell b 1881 son of Caleb and Mary, Caleb Tugwell b 1843, his wife Mary b 1845, sons David Tugwell (standing) b 1878, and John Tugwell (on horse) b 1873.
The photo was taken in front of the family home on Amherst Island.
Notes: I took this photo to Earle Tugwell in August 1997 and he was able to identify everyone in the photo.
The house is no longer standing but in 1997 one could see the roof from the road as the house crumbled and was not blown apart. I could still see some of the gingerbread. As I recall, the house is on the South side of Amherst Island, I think we went straight off the ferry and drove toward the lake, then we turned Right and followed the road for about a mile, the house is on the right. I recognized the location of the old house by the avenue of trees and then saw the roof.

In 1997, I believe this house was owned by Donald Miller?. This house is on the 3rd Conc, West of the road south of the ferry, on S. side, east of where Earle and Jean Tugwell used to live.

Elizabeth Brown nee Reid and her 5 kids
Front L-R Helen?, Elizabeth (Reid) Brown, daughter - don't know her name) son: Willis Herbert Brown. Back L-R - sons Cecil and Arthur.
Elizabeth Reid was the daughter of Caroline Margaret Tugwell and her husband, John Reid.
The photo was taken c early 1960's? at 196 Montcalm Drive, Rochester, N.Y., the home of Willis Herbert Browne (he changed the spelling from Brown to Browne) and his wife, Elaine. Willis, better known as 'Brownie', and Elaine did not have children.
Elizabeth (Reid) Brown lived in the Rochester area - she is buried in a cemetery on Amherst Island. I think the daughter (whose name I cannot remember) was a spinster. Helen was married and had a son and a daughter. Cecil and Arthur were married but I don't know if they had children.
