Black and white studio portrait of Ritchie Canning, who was born in 1899 and was one of the sons of Smith Canning and Annie Eliza Turnbull Canning of Churchill. He is pictured wearing dark suit and patterned tie with a handkerchief in the left breast pocket. He worked on the Smith Canning farm through 1931, and later farmed in Bradford and Utopia. By the late 1960s he had returned in Churchill. After his aunt Eleanor Canning died in 1937, Ritchie became owner of the Canning Apartments. Before Ritchie died in 1977, he had built and lived in a small house on the 4th Line behind the store and Canning Apartment building. The photo was donated by Kemp Hastewell, nephew of Ritchie Canning.
