| This picture of Harley Luckham as Thomas Harley was known to family and friends in his hometown of Glencoe, Ontario was probably taken around 1904 though there is no date on the image. |
|
| This family portrait was probably taken around the same time. With Harley is his sister Lorna, mother Adelaide (Bea) Luckham, and father John Leonard Luckham. Within about a year of this portrait John Leonard was dead and Bea was left to raise the two children. She did so aided by her two sisters Bertha Augusta "Gussie" Martyn who never married, and Gertrude "Gertie" Jane Martyn Anderson whose husband the local minister had left her and run off with the parish organist. Surrounded by women in his early years Harley would head for the States at the first reasonable opportunity! |

| The Luckham home in Glencoe was still there and recognizable in 1999. This picture is undated but it was probably taken around 1905. |

| Harley went to school in this building. It too was still standing in 1999. The photo is from an old post card Harley sent to son Larry in 1966. The message on the back was: "This is the High School from which I neglected to graduate. It looks the same today as when I attended but is not used as a school as they have a new modern High here." He was making a rare visit home at the time. |
