Wilfred Manson mowing hay in a Stag Bay field with daughter Dorothy on his knee. The horse was called 'Major Whiskers' because he had a walrus mustache on his lip. Note the former cookhouse, now used as a barn. It has been moved across the field from an earlier location. The roof of a very old barn shows through the trees just above the horse's neck.

Wilfred Manson holding his daughter Dorothy at Stag Bay on the beach at Stag Bay, Hernando Island. The old building in the background is located directly downhill from the George Freeman home. While the Campbell River Lumber Company was logging, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Robertson lived there. They owned an English bulldog who sired 'Brindle', the dog in the picture.

Mrs. Jean Manson. After her marriage to Wilfred Manson in 1920, they lived for a time in the George Freeman home on Hernando Island. The sheep is an ewe named 'Sitkum Seeakwis' after she lost one eye and became something of a pet and a character. Their black dog 'Pip' is looking on. Note the rain barrel with trough at the side of the house.
