This might be the Charles Ouimette homestead, located in Holton Township, Section 34, four miles east of Abbotsford. Yesterday I found the attached "needle painted" picture of the "Charles Ouimette Homestead Holton" on the Internet. It certainly looks the same, with the exception of a window to the left of the door.

The photo with the family has the right amount of children and sexes to match, if it was taken about 1890.

It would make sense for it to be a part of the Abbotsford Centennial booklet, since the Ouimette's were among the very earliest settlers in the area, about 1876. Mrs. Ouimette was Clara Belle Hull; her parents, Nelson and Jane (Bullen) Hull, moved to the area also by 1880, homesteading a 160-acre farm just northwest across the section from where the Ouimette's lived.
