John Augustus & William Dixon
Taken at Will Dixon's home at the foot of Wolfe Island, the Dixon brothers John Augustus, left and William Dixon, right are seated on a bearskin rug on the steps. The itinerant photographer took several glass plates of the Will Dixon family, but brother John probably saw such extravagance as unnecessary for his large family, or perhaps he had already removed ot the Town of Lyme by that time, and was only visiting. The third brother, Victor, had already left the family, never to be heard of again.
John, 21 years the older, was married by the time Will was two. John's family was finsihed, with the youngest, Florence born 1885,when Will's eldest, Charlie was born in 1886. John was a sailor on the Great lakes, while Will was a fisherman from a skiff in the St. Lawrence River, and had time for sail boats and ice boats. As opposite as they seemed, John with his for-in-hand and Will with his bow tie, the Dixon family was close in adversity and good times. Part of the credit, at least, must go to their sisters, Renie and Rachel, and their very different but delightful correspondence with their nieces and nephews. Aunt Renie was the keeper of history and dispenser of it.
