These albums were purchased in 2014 from a seller located in Bedford, Nova Scotia. This album measures approximately 11 1/2″ x 7″ x 2″. There are 311 photos in the album, a lot glued in. Most are related to the Girl Guides association. Photos are shown in the order they appear in the album. The inside cover states: “Annie Buffett, Jan. 24th, 1925 – From Tom and Sam”.
Research: I believe I originally had the incorrect Annie Buffett identified. I’d previously had her identified as Annie Beatrice Buffett, b. June 28, 1885 in Burgeo, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada; d. about 1964 in Toronto, York, Ontario. Parents were Benjamin S. Buffett and Elizabeth Troke, both born in Newfoundland. It now makes more sense that it is Anna Buffett b. January 24, 1904 in Burnt Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, d. July 8, 1978 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Anna had two younger brothers, Tom and Sam, who were probably the names mentioned on the inside cover. The second album I have belongs to Edith Buffett, and this Anna Buffett had a sister Edith. Their parents were Benjamin Buffett and Hannah Jane Eastman.
There are many names mentioned in this album and I have speculated on the identity of a number of them. Others are common names, so hard to pin down. Hoping someone related to the Buffett family, or with other names in the album, can help with the identification.

Research: A big thank you to Joyce Munro for providing the following information: “The final photo is John Matthew Munro, b1884 Rose Blanche, Newfoundland; d1946 Odessa, Ontario. John was a cousin of Samuel & Thomas Buffett. His mother, Keziah Eastman, was Hannah Eastman’s sister who married Benjamin Buffett. I was hoping to narrow down the date of the photo but he was moving around just after the turn of the century. He went o Glasgow Bible Institute for 2 years, then went to London where he departed for Shanghai. “
