This photograph of Catherine Tait on the veranda of her Stonecliff home just before
moving out. This photo is interesting because it showed clearly the forest clearing on the
opposite side of the River, indicating the 'new level' for the river. Catherine home and all of
old Stonecliff would soon be under water. Catherine moved to the new community of Stonecliffe
with her son Joseph (Joe) Tait and family.

A view looking down the main road of Stonecliff in the mid 1920's. McKechnie's General
Store is in the foreground. Next to it is Saint Zephrim Roman Catholic Church. The new church, Our Lady of Snows, was contructed on Highway 17 at Stonecliffe and continues to serve the residents of the area. The building in the background is the CPR railway station. The rail line ran parallel to the main road. Note the spelling of Stoncliff, without an 'e' at the end. Only after the area fas flooded and the community was moved to higher ground was the name changed to its current spelling.

Pictured here are Bud Mckechnie (standing), Dickie Stewart (sitting) and Annie Spencer (on the road).
