That does make sense Peter. Jim came to Canada in 1912, I'm assuming after his mother died that same year. He was still young enough to have some growing left. The Olde's were farmers in Cornwall, but there just wasn't enough land for everyone which is why Jim's Uncle Tom (my Great Great Grandfather) decided to try his luck on this side of the Pond. They may have eaten better than their urban countrymen, but probably were not quite as well off as their Canadian cousins. Things were of course extremely difficult for Tom when he first arrived and there are stories of very lean times, but by 1912 the family was certainly still working hard, but eating proper meals. Knowing the farm that Jim worked on over here I can see how he would have put on muscle -- it's rich, heavy soil and not at all easy to work.
