1899 photo of a wood cutting bee at Salem which no doubt has in it the ancestors of many current Salemites. [Many of the streets in Cramahe Township are named after these men and their families.] The photo was taken by Dominion Photo and View Co. of Brighton, F. B. Jones, photographer. The only persons identified to date are the following: Albert Cochrane, second 
from left front; Frank Ventress, third from left back; Sanford Brown, fifth from left back; Duncan Church in the very middle of the back row; Mason Bellamy, with the upright saw, fifth from the right back; William Henry Bellamy in the middle row at left; George Armstrong with the big mustache in the middle row, middle of the row. [Edward Van Wicklin and perhaps other Cramahe Township Van Wicklins are likely to be among the group, but as yet not identified.]
