Champlain Canalmen: A Mylott Family Resemblance

Do you see a resemblance? Milo Benjamin and Walter Robert were brothers and both canalmen on the Champlain Canal....

Walter Robert Mylott 1882-1934

Milo Benjamin Mylott 1884-1937

There was another brother who was a canalman, George Lesile Mylott 1887-1964, who I do not have a photo of. If you are descended form George Lesile Mylott and Carrie Blanchette (Blanchard) please contact me and send me a picture!
