Ill health later caused him to cease work and Mr. and Mrs. Weekes moved to Smiths Falls.

Roy Weekes and his 1915? Model T Ford car. He was born in 1898 and appears to be about 20 years old in the picture, giving the picture a possible date of about 1918 - 20.

Roy many have recently purchased the Model T as its 2nd owner, an occasion suggesting a picture pose for posterity. His brother Norman may have been the photographer, as he owned a Kodak camera in those early years.

The season, may have been early Spring as he is wearing a top coat, the trees have no leaves and the car wheels are muddy because of recently thawed gravel roads. The location may be the roadside in front of the family farm.
