Kimmerly Ranch House - Sheldrake Lake Rd, Cloyne

  I can definitely identify my grandfather, Wilfred Laurier Lessard, b.1895 (1st on the left, son of Moses Lessard II) and his first cousin, Francis Lessard (2nd on the left, son of Eli Lessard). Both Lessards were from the village of Flinton and worked for Robert W. Kimmerly at Kimmerly Ranch prior to the start of WWI. Based on my grandfather's apparent age of 18 -20, I would date this photo as having been taken between 1913 and 1915. I recall sitting with my grandfather c.1978 on the verandah of our family cottage on Oborne Point, facing west toward the site of Kimmerly Ranch. I will always remember him pointing west across Skootamatta Lake, telling me to pay attention, and then indicating where Kimmerly Ranch used to be and proudly stating that he had worked there as a ranch hand in his youth. Such a treasured memory.
