IMAGE INFORMATION
Mr. and Mrs. Abram Paul, and their granddaughter, Mary Agnes Hilman, born in the USA, are cooking dinner over a fire on the beach. Note that their pot is suspended from a log, partially held up by the wrought-iron leg of a Singer sewing machine. They all look very happy. Abram Paul was born in Londonderry; Mrs. Paul was born at General's Bridge, Lequille, NS. Mr. and Mrs. Paul were the paternal grandparents of Lena Paul Pictou; their son Joseph Paul married Helen Hammond. One of 116 images collected for copying by Darlene Ricker between 1990 and 1997, as part of a project of the Bear River Mi'kmaq Reserve, Bear River, NS. Initiated by Chief Frank Meuse, the project, set up to preserve the reserve's history, resulted in a book by Darlene Ricker, 1997. The Nova Scotia Museum, Halifax, contributed the copywork for all photographs lent to the project, on the understanding that they would keep the copy negatives, but return the originals and provide the lenders with 8x10 prints of each item loaned for copying.
