Additional information of the Board Members and Employees.I believe this was the Board for the 1906/1907 year. At this time the Board had 7 elected members which are in the photo plus the foreman & clerk. Thus, an extra man as there are ten in the photo. From what can be established from standing row left to right Albert Porteous (1878-1965) Board Foreman, Ckreston Sorrensen (1862-1937) the unknown man is either William Revell or Martin Deegan, note correct spelling but more likely Revell, John Callahan O'Rorke (1852-1936) note correct spelling, unknown man either William Revell or Martin Deegan 1850-1918), James (not John) Boulton Knowles (1855-1920) Board Clerk, Although identified as Martin Deegan I think this man is an employee possibly Thomas Conroy, the Ranger. Sitting James Young, Jacob Rothery (1852-1907) Chairman, Paul Willcox (1856-1923) I will see if I can get anything definite about the unidentified board members and the extra man.
