This photo makes me think of Winslow Homer....

It is mostly untouched. The color variation is from time and fading. I played with it a little in some painting programs and decided it was better "Au jus" (in its natural juices) so I posted it with the scratches removed only :

Sarah and Anne Gilmour on the Beach circa 1911

It is much more Monet-ish than Homer to me.

Welcome Homie!

Glebie-Glue!

Glebe Ho. stands for "Glebe House".

A Glebe or Glebe House was in the Roman Catholic and Anglican church traditions. The glebe was an area of land belonging to a parish, the revenues from which were intended to help support the parish.

A Glebe-house is a rectory built for the parish priest, vicar, pastor, or rector, usually at church expense.

Also : archaic : Land specif : a plot of land. Also : land belonging or yielding revenue to a parish church or ecclesiastical benefice.

My guess is that "yielding revenue to" is what my ancestors were up to. They were Coopers by Trade and more than likely would have been employed in the making of barrels, to store or ship the "yielded" product of Flax or Grain.
