"The Orphanage" - Some of George Bannerman Milne & Maggie (McBean) Milne's children. Photo taken around 1891.
Dolly, Charles, Athol Russell, Mortimer (Mott), Lorne, Willie.
Willie and Lorne died of Diptheria in childhood. Dolly and Athol Russell were fraternal twins.
Notes were made by Dolly Milne in the family Bible:
Grandpa [George Bannerman] had returned to Quebec from a trip to Hudson's Bay. He was handsome with red hair and beard. Grandma [Margaret McBean] who was 27 years old fell in love with him and her father disowned her so she did not share in his estate. The Geo. Milne family settled in Oswego, NY where they spent their early childhood.
Your dad [Charles Alexander Milne] and Uncle George [Malcom Milne] referred to them as the "orphanage".
