Ralph Dowson (1870-1913) was one of two children of Sarah Thornton (1848-1914) and John Dowson (1842-1914). He married Margaret Campbell (1869-1953), also of Ontario, and they had four children: Frank, Ralph Roscoe, Evelyn and Samuel. I believe this photo was taken in Ontario prior to their migration to Saskatchewan and the birth of their fourth child, Ulysses Samuel Dowson. Ralph and Margaret lived in Broadview, Saskatchewan although they had move to Limerick prior to Ralph’s death in 1913 from a lightening strike.
We have a letter written by Ray Simpson from the war front in 1917 to Margaret in which he expresses his gratitude, and that of his friends, for the cake she had sent. He also expresses sympathy for the death of Ned Dowson, Ralph’s uncle. See the post for Sarah Thornton for a photo of Ralph’s mother.
