Artwork from Alford Junction
I am into genealogy and old documents and I acquired what appears to be a
sketch done by someone who was practicing either drawing or calligraphy. It is
a sketch of a dove? in a sheaf of grain, and inscribed within the sketch
are "Alford Ontario"; "Excelsior";
"penmanship", and what looks like "J.A. C'rouck." The
apostrophe may be a slip of the pen - but regardless - no amount of
searching has brought me any closer to this person using many variations
of the name. The sketch is done on the back of a blank Grand Trunk Railway
System memo. It is mounted on a sheet of paper on which (the same
person?) has drawn two male figures as would have appeared in a fashion
magazine - and they are very well done.
My research suggests that Alford,
"Alfred (sic) Junction was on

wedding of a Mr. and Mrs. Llett who "will reside at Alford Junction."
Any thoughts would be appreciated. David G Jones shibumi.management@gmail.com
