Description:
Thought to be Joseph Ronayne. (2014 addendum; This photo was thought to be missing for several years. The original register entry title was "Miner Panning". We now believe the photo corresponds to this entry as the original photo hangs in the School District #48 office. There is some question as to whether it actually is Joseph Ronayne, further research needs to be done on who the gold panner is)
