The Ireland Family in Kitley Township, Ontario

(photos and articles written and submitted by Cherylynn Ireland, 2020)

Isaac Ireland b.1776 d. circa 1833 and Susan Cornell b.1771 d.1826 came north to Kitley Township circa 1800 as part of a Cornell family group from near Schaghticoke, upper New York state, where their families had farms sharing a common boundary. Isaac and Susannah were married and had their first child, Elijah, before migrating to Kitley.

Isaac’s parents were Thomas Ireland b.1746 d.1811 and Sarah Seeley b. 1751 d. 1830. By the time Isaac came north, Thomas would have been approaching 60 years of age and had signed a petition 1775, to indicate his alliance with the Patriots/Rebels to avoid being “tarred & feathered” and having his farm confiscated.

Isaac is buried in the back portion of what is now Lehigh Cemetery beneath one of the large trees there. His headstone was a field stone, with the letters “IRE…” hand chiselled on one of the limestone field stones. There were three or four in a row, with inscriptions lost to the elements.

Darius West Ireland and his wife, Phoebe McManus are buried in Lehigh Cemetery. Darius is the grandson of Issac Ireland and Susan Cornell.

Darius’ parents were Lewis Denis Ireland b. 1800 d. 1884. married to Alice Johnson b. 1800 d. 1892

This is Darius West’s family line.

The Latimer Collection (Part 4) – The Kodak Generation

John Family Photo Albums Elizabethtown Township Ontario, Kodak Generation, Latimer Family, Leeds and Grenville County Ontario, Lyn Museum 1

The Kodak Generation

In 1900, George Eastman took mass-market photography one step further with the introduction of the Kodak Brownie, a simple and very inexpensive box camera that introduced the concept of the snapshot. The Brownie was extremely popular and various models remained on sale until the 1960s.

Thanks to Kodak, photography became available to everyone, and people were able to capture their “precious memories” forever.

The Latimer Family were no exception with their Kodak. They were now able expand their “photograph albums” from the staged “studio family portraits” to their every day life.

Note written by Gladys Latimer to Anne Nyland (undated)

Mrs. W. cut a squash for me this a.m. and I cut vegetables to go in the soup. We put away the Christmas things that go upstairs; unused cards, tablemats, tablecloths serviettes. My violets are dying, one after the other for no apparent reason.

Aunt Debbie DeWolfe was a Dixie. Grandmother Scott’s full sister, also full brother Uncle Tom. He married a Dobbs and took over the Dobb’s place. His wife had 2 sisters, not married, one very bad with asthma who lived there. Mother boarded with them when she taught the school in the Dobbs settlement. They had no children and as Uncle Tom got older, little Billie Dixie came to live there. He was the son of great grandfather’s second wife. He and Mother were about the same age even though he was Grandma Scott’s half brother. He and Mother had a great time together, lots of fun and she says she thinks these old sisters had never known what fun was before. Mother& Billie never lost that close friendship and Mother was very fond of his wife, Nellie.

Aunt Debbie had one son, Charlie. He was seriously wounded in the first world war, a head wound, had a plate in it. At times it would press on his brain and he took what was called “high dives” He married a RC from Montreal; they had no children. Mother said he used his wife terribly, made a will trying to prevent her from getting anything but she got a share by law. She gave mother some goblets and a very old tiny pitcher. Uncle Og DeWolfe worked in the brickyard where the Prince of Wales School is now.

Another family of DeWolfs had a Dixie for a mother. I don’t know if a sister. They had a daughter Lori, married to a Cowan who had a daughter Rita, married to a Tisdale who used to come to Lily Bay every summer. Also there was a son “Ur” and he was Bernice Nicol’s father. When I can get to talk to Lawrence Dixie he will tell me that connection.

Marion H. and I went to see Mrs. B last Mon. but I told Mario it was the last in the winter. The parking lot is all on a slant. Wed. I went down and renewed a GLC, got home just before the storm began ? . If this bores you tell me because when I write I don’t tell other things. Love Nina

The Latimer Collection (Part 3) – Cabinet Cards and Early 1900’s Gelatin-Silver Prints

John Family Photo Albums Cabinet Cards, Elizabethtown Township Ontario, Latimer Family, Leeds and Grenville County Ontario, Lyn Museum Elizabethtown, Old Photography 0

The Latimer Collection contains many old family photographs. In this section we will deal with the various Cabinet Cards and Early 1900’s Gelatin-Silver Prints in the collection.

Surnames found in the photographs are: Borthwick; Boyd; Coward; Davenport; Davis; Dobbs; Gilroy; Halliday; Hicks; Hicky; Latimer; Percival; Phelps; Scott; Simpson; Slack; Talpin and Wright

Cabinet Cards

In the early 1870’s Cabinet Cards became popular. Cabinet Cards were also usually albumen prints, but larger, mounted on cardboard backs measuring 4 1/2” by 6 1/5”. Cabinet cards remained popular into the early 20th century, when Kodak introduced the Brownie Cameras and home snapshot photography became widely available and affordable to the general population.

Gelatin Silver Prints vs Albumen Prints

Early 1900’s gelatin-silver prints are often mistaken for albumen prints. Early gelatin silver prints often have an albumen-like sepia tone and can be mounted to a cardboard backing. Except for some early circa 1890’s examples, the gelatin-silver print is identified, as the paper fibers in the image cannot be seen under the microscope.

If the photograph is dated to the early 1900’s by the image subject or mount style, the photograph probably is gelatin-silver, not albumen.

In the 1890’s, albumen prints and gelatin prints were roughly about equal in popularity.

Many gelatin silver photographs have stark black and white images, distinct to the sepia tones of an albumen print.

Gelatin silver prints with white borders usually date from the 1910’s and later. Before this, the photos almost always had full bleed images.

We believe the following photographs to be Gelatin Silver Prints.

The Latimer Collection (part 2)- Old Photographs

John Family Photo Albums Elizabethtowntown Township Ontario, Latimer Family, Leeds and Grenville County Ontario, Lyn Museum Elizabethtown 0

The Latimer Collection contains many old family photographs all taken in different photography mediums. Most of the photographs have names, but unfortunately some do not. We have posted all of them in hopes that someone will be able to identify them.

Every photograph will have some connection to the Latimer Family. We have been able to clean up most of the photographs and will show you both the before and after of those photographs.

Surnames found in the photographs are: Anier; Boyd; Davenport; Davis; Dixie; Latimer; Moffat; Percival; Phillips; Tennant; Towriso; Wright.

The Ambrotype Photograph

The ambrotype process is a photographic process that creates a positive photographic image on a sheet of glass using the wet plate collodion process. It was invented by Frederick Scott Archer in the early 1850s, then patented in 1854 by James Ambrose Cutting of Boston, in the United States.

During the 1860’s it was superseded by the tintype, a similar photograph on thin black laquered iron.

The Ambrotype is a reverse image of the subject.

The Tintype Photograph

A tintype, also known as a melainotype or ferrotype, is a photograph made by creating a direct positive on a thin sheet of metal (iron) coated with a dark lacquer or enamel and used as the support for the photographic emulsion. Tintypes enjoyed their widest use during the 1860s and 1870s, but lesser use of the medium persisted into the early 20th century.

Hand Colouring of Photographs

Refers to any method of manually adding colour to a black and white photograph, generally either to heighten the realism of the photograph or for artistic purposes. Hand-colouring is also known as hand painting or over-painting.

Typically watercolours, oils, crayons or pastels are applied to the image surface. Hand-coloured photographs were most popular in the mid to late 19th century before the invention of colour photography.

Carte de Visite

The carte de visite (French for Visiting Card) was a type of small photograph which was patented in Paris in 1854. It was usually made of an albumen print, which was a thin paper photograph mounted on a thicker paper card. The size of a carte de visite is 2.125” X 3.5” mounted on a card.

Each photograph was the size of a visiting card, and such photograph cards were traded among friends and visitors. Albums for the collection and display of cards became a common fixture in Victorian parlours. The immense popularity of these card photographs led to the publication and collection of photographs of prominent persons.

By the early 1870s, carte de visites were supplanted by “Cabinet Cards”.

The Latimer / Nyland Family have been kind enough to donate many of the photos from which we have been able to give you a glimpse into their life and past family history. Unfortunately the names of some people have been lost to history.
