- 1946 photo taken in their front garden by relative Harriet (Andrew) Clark, with caption: "Mrs Ralph Compton, Aunt Marion [Richardson] & Mother [Nell (Richardson) Andrew] were discussing some flowers so didn't know I was taking this. Uncle Melbourne's back got in the way, Aug 1946 PEI by Harriet Clark" [photo received via Jean (Richardson) Hermansen].
Muriel’s granddaughter comments in 2013: “Yes this is my grandmother Muriel. It is so neat to see this photo. I haven’t seen many pictures of her earlier than the 1960s. The house behind them has the same gingerbread trim on the verandah that is in other pictures that I have of the farm house. I remember the flower garden from when I was a teenager in the 1970s. If she grew the same type of flowers back in 1946, there should have been hollyhock, foxglove, pinks. I wish I could remember more of the flowers. I’ll have to ask my Dad if he recognizes the stove that is on the verandah.”

- 1946 photo taken in their front garden by relative Harriet (Andrew) Clark, with caption: "Mrs Ralph Compton, Aunt Marion [Richardson] & Mother [Nell (Richardson) Andrew] were discussing some flowers so didn't know I was taking this. Uncle Melbourne's back got in the way, Aug 1946 PEI by Harriet Clark" [photo received via Jean (Richardson) Hermansen].
Muriel’s granddaughter comments in 2013: “Yes this is my grandmother Muriel. It is so neat to see this photo. I haven’t seen many pictures of her earlier than the 1960s. The house behind them has the same gingerbread trim on the verandah that is in other pictures that I have of the farm house. I remember the flower garden from when I was a teenager in the 1970s. If she grew the same type of flowers back in 1946, there should have been hollyhock, foxglove, pinks. I wish I could remember more of the flowers. I’ll have to ask my Dad if he recognizes the stove that is on the verandah.”
