The others were taken at the wedding of Etta Belle Stone to William Lawrence on 17 June, 1914. Members of both families are present in the wedding photographs, but it's not immediately clear how they are related.
• Unknown school class, but almost certainly Lanark County. Probably Beckwith, Ramsay or Drummond Townships. Seems to be about 1890's. The children are well-dressed, so it may be a school in Carleton Place.
• Unknown school class. Probably Lanark County and most likely Lanark Village, Middleville or Hopetown. Looks like 1940's to 1950's. This shows the complete photo.
  • Enlargement of above photo showing the students only.
• Unknown school class. Unknown location. The wall behind the children is of stone and they are for the most part well dressed, so this is possibly a large town or a city school -- Kingston? Ottawa? Perth? Brockville?. A very fragile and fragmented photo.
• Two unknown classes, about 1920 Both photos taken at the same school, as the outside entrance behind the students has the same brickwork. Two students are identified as "Bill" and "Hilda". And I'm guessing at the era -- can you identify even when the photos were taken?
• Unknown Woman, 1930's or earlier. Possibly taken in McDonald's Corners, but most certainly somewhere in eastern Ontario, based on where it was found in a country auction.

Four photos show recognizeable people, but only one -- Robert P. Harper -- is completely identified. Buchanan, Erwin, Mills, Riddell, & Trombley are mentioned but not explicitly identified.
