| 説明 | This vintage photo is from the Alkenbrack album. The back inscription reads:'Where Claude was born 1889. My father and uncle built this house while in partnership. This house is all grouted with mortar and the shingles were laid in mortar. The baby of the post is Douglas Alkenbrack taken September 1913. His father is holding him.'The following information about the ranch is cited from: Lake Tales - A. Douglas Alkenbrack - Memories of a Daughter by Eleanor Grennell on www.skootamatta.com 'In early September of 1969 my father, my husband Herbert, my grandfather Claude decided to take a drive north from Napanee. When they arrived at Cloyne, Claude suggested a left turn to drive in the old logging road that goes through to Skootamatta and Sheldrake lakes. At this point in time the road twisted and turned around the rocks and hills and was very narrow. Claude’s idea was that he would show his Uncle’s property his Uncle had used, through a quick claim deed. There had been an old homestead where he raised beef cattle back in the late 1800’s. Claude had spent time there when he was a boy. The homestead was situated near the landing between Sheldrake and Skootamatta lakes. They identified the spot where the old house had stood after finding the remnants of the root cellar. It sat on a rise looking down at the stream that flows out of Sheldrake Lake into Skootamatta. The old ranch was run by Robert W. Kimmerly, Claude’s Uncle who subsequently opened a General Store in Flinton. Doug-las’s poem “Village on the Skoot” is written about his boyhood days spent at his Great Uncle and Aunt’s store in Flinton'. - See more at: www.skootamatta.ca/blog/douglas-alkenbrack-memories-daugh... - See more at: www.skootamatta.ca/blog/douglas-alkenbrack-memories-daugh...The exact location of this store in Flinton is unknown at this time.Part of the Alkenbrack Family AlbumNote: All CDHS Flickr content is available for the public use (non-commercial) providing our Rights Statement is followed:pioneer.mazinaw.on.ca/flickr_statement.php |
