Photo of WALTER BRIGGS DUNHAM
This image was taken from a newspaper clipping kept by my great-granddfather Colonel Cecil Dunham (1875-1962) who was a first cousin of Walter Briggs Dunham (1891-1916). The piece was probably sent to him by his uncle Jonathan Briggs Dunham (1843-1925) who was Walter's father who lived in Orillia, Ontario.
