The white building on the right is identified in handwriting as the Courthouse and Jail. This card was sent from Eva Smith, Stonewall to Mr. E. T. Sirett, Glendale. (Ebenezer Tom Sirett was the oldest child of W. F. Sirett, former Member of the Manitoba Legislature, from Glendale.) She wrote: "Dear Mr Sirett, Accept my heartiest congratulations. The class did well didn't it. yours truly Eva Smith."

Note: Ebenezer Tom Sirret was apparently a lawyer in Rossburn when he enlisted to serve in WWI. He was awarded a medal for his actions at Passchendale. Source: ssns.frontiersd.mb.ca/SeniorYrs/Curricula9-12/Grade11/CanadianHistory/RemembranceDay/Soldiers/MACSoldiers/MZ/ThompsonVictor.html
