This photo was taken at the "Big Deerfoot" barn located off Deerfoot Road (at the location of the Trottier School). The silo foundation at the left may be the same as you can still see to the right when entering the Trottier school driveway from Deerfoot Rd. In the picture is Mr. Edgar M. Smith who was the manager of Deerfoot Farms from at least 1900 to 1920 according to the 1900 - 1910 - 1920 censuses. Other records state he was the supt. from 1891 to 1930. He was born in Ma. in Aug. 1854 and his wife's name was Martha. They never had any children.
