This is a picture of my sister Marette (LaRush) Fawcett on the right and Nan Mosier (deceased) .
I think the young man is a McCarney from Gananoque. Around 1945-46. The interesting part are the old gas pumps which were in front of the then Rattery's store on the main street in Marysville.

This store is now operated by Steve Fargo and is much moderinized.
