Provenance |
Drawn by Peter Inglis (1813-1901) sometime betweeen 1830 and 1901 in either Scotland or Canada. He and his wife Ann emigrated from Fifeshire, Scotland in 1843. Peter Inglis purchased the mill set-up at the head of the Sydenham River in 1845 and eventually had woolen, grist and sawmilling operations there, using the waterpower of what became known as "Inglis Falls". Passed down to Samuel Inglis Leslie at an unknown date, and then to his grandson, Fred Hall of Canmore, Alberta. |
