Private William John Martin
William John Martin would have been 12 years old in 1910. I believe this picture was taken around then as I believe the woman in front (My Aunt Adelle) moved to Toronto that year. I think the young boy in the back beside his Mother would be William. Born 1798 died 1917. I have never been to Nova Scotia or met any of the family there.
