(Pages 1-27 of 50 are shown here.)

These photos were in the possession of my Grandmother:  Frances V. (Lowe) (Wiancko) Long.  (Wife of Edwin Samuel Theodore Wiancko.) 

Notes from Eldon Wiancko - February 2004:

I can be contacted ed@wiancko.com.

1 & 2 Theodor Wiancko and Orma Clipsham.

Theodor Wiancko and Orma Clipsham in a Uneeda Rest rowboat. Taken just off the shore in front of the Uneeda Rest Hotel.

3 Theodore Wiancko Handstand on Rock at Uneeda Rest Dock with Sleep Rock in Background

Fairly close to the Uneeda Rest Hotel, near the lakeshore.� If Theodore had fallen, he would have had a very nasty fall because of the elevation.� The name of the rock formation in the background is Steep Rock, it is on property that originally belonged to Adolphus and Meta Wiancko. The shoreline between Steep Rock and the right side of the photo is now owned by Eldon Wiancko.� Cottage built there in 1970.

4 Theodore and Edwin Wiancko

Theodore and Edwin Wiancko in Wesley Clipsham's Motor Launch at the Uneeda Rest Hotel.

Unknown

6 Probably one of Wesley Clipsham's automobiles.

"Uncle Wesley was known to favour Reo Automobiles, and in my day there was an old car in the woods behind the barn, which was slowly disintegrating into the ground.� I was told it was a 1917 Reo, and the body was made of leather.� He subsequently had a 1924 Reo. Then switched to Packards." - Eldon Wiancko

7 No notes on this one.

8 Looking towards shore somewhere on Sparrow Lake.

"I don't have any idea where that could be, but sometime in the Spring" - Eldon Wiancko

11 Phil Curths

"Phil Curths was the Son of� Edith (Wiancko)�and R.J. Curths.� I believe he spent his working career working for the Post Office, and he had a life-long interest in music." - Eldon Wiancko

12 Unknown Couple - Is man from picture 7?

"I judge it was taken in the 1920's.� The man seems to be wearing a uniform, according to the emblems on his shirt collar, and the fact he is wearing breeks and puttees.� (Suggestion: did the men in the CCC Camps wear uniforms?)" - Edlon Wiancko
