Reuben R. Sallows' Family

As Sallows was growing his business, he was also building a family of his own. Sallows wed Flora McKinnon (1862-1916). They had 4 children, but only 3 survived to adulthood. Their children were: Darius Doty (1882-1952), Albert B(1888-1890), Florence (Flo) Irene(1891-1970), and Verna(1908-?). Darius became a photographer, like his father, and eventually bought a studio in Woodstock, Ontario. Flo was one of Reuben Sallows' top models in the photographs he sold to magazines and newspapers across Canada, the United States and the world, as was Verna in her youth. Keep an eye on the Sallows' photographs throughout this exhibit to see if you can spot Flo or the young Verna. Some of Sallows' most memorable photographs feature his families.

A year after Flora Sallows died, Reuben married again. He was 62 and Verna was only 9. Reuben R. Sallows married Clara Bamford, a pretty woman who did some work as a colourist for him in his studio. They had a daughter, Nancy; who too was featured in Sallows' photographs.
