This image appears on page 162 of W. C. Mikel's 1943 'City of Belleville History', with the following caption: "The Late A. R. DAFOE, O.B.E., M.D. Callender. Born in the Village of Madoc, County of Hastings, of U.E. Loyalist descent. As physician for the Dionne Quintuplets, his name has become a household word throughout the civilized world. The Dafoe family were among the pioneers of Belleville and the County of Hastings. Zenas Dafoe was a member of the first Municipal Council elected in Belleville, 1836. A member of the same family erected a hotel at Belleville known as the 'Dafoe House' which was the leading hotel in this part of the Province for many years. It stood at the northeast corner of Bridge and Pinnacle Streets where the Hotel Quinte now stands. Other members of the family have held prominent positions in Belleville and vicinity. One of Belleville's streets bears the name 'Dafoe.' The late William Dafoe was one of the largest property owners in the City during his lifetime. Dr. Dafoe has contributed many interesting articles to magazines and newspapers on medical and surgical subjects."
