Summary

A man seated in a loaded, horse-drawn buggy, outside J. Denton's Waterloo Store. Information from the donor indicates that J. Denton would collect orders and deliver groceries and other goods to outlying farms in the Waterloo district, so it seems likely it is him in the driver's seat. A Josh Denton is shown as a storekeeper in Waterloo in the 1901 Sands & McDougall directory. According to a researcher, Joseph Denton, opened the General Store in Waterloo in 1896 and ran it until 1905, when he took over a business in Mintaro, and left the Waterloo store in the hands of his brother Edwin (Ted) Fletcher Denton. Joseph was born in Aldinga in 1869 and died in Adelaide in 1952. He was a long time resident of Farrell Flat where his car is shown in B64294, and his son's Ford dealership in B64295.
