The source of this picture is believed to be the Olds Gazette. It is an excellent picture of the homestead but you will notice the windows are boarded up. The building to the right is the "root cellar", as my mother (Mary Ann/Marion - Doherty Hughes) used to call it.
BJ received this picture of the Doherty homestead in January 1957 from Mr. and Mrs. Clayton Sheffield, neigbors of William and Catherine. It was a pleasure to meet this couple who had just celebrated their 65th Anniversary. The Sheffields seemed to think that it was other neighbors sitting in front of the house. Although it isn't too clear there is a dog laying near the corner of the house. The homestead was listed as NW 16 R1 W5 T34 and the title was issued August 29, 1895.
