Names were taken from the History of Camden Township 1800-1968 by
Township History Committee and from an original copy owned by Harold Bawn,
Croydon.
Alternate names in brackets are ones which make more sense from
the 1901 census records - Edmond Doupe lived with his widow mother at the
Close farm and Mary Breault is listed as much older than shown while Sarah
was a younger sister. (Keep in mind the census records could
also be in error.)
(31) Bob Keller is directly behind his two older brothers on the
rock and is wearing the same type of shirt. The book has him identified
as his brother, Ross Keller who would have been only 3 years old at the
time. They were sons of Henry Bush Keller and the family later moved to
Camrose, Alberta. I have been unable to find the Burns family in the 1901
census to get the birth dates for them.
