The Murphy Family in Ontario, Canada

Posted by: | June 13, 2024

One of our readers (and excellent proof reader) Richard Corcelli, shared some photos of his mother, Helen Murphy, when she was a little girl circa 1915. Each of the photos is worth a thousand words. Helen’s ancestor emigrated to Canada from Ireland in the 1820’s.

Helen Murphy is snug in her woolen bonnet and covered with a buffalo robe. Her father Tommy Murphy is wearing a racoon coat and driving the horse and cutter. They were on their way to Mass c. 1916.







Helen Murphy is driving and her sister is at the crank. The car is a Model T Touring car the photo was taken c. 1913. The car was never taken out on snowy roads.

Team, hay wagon and log barn built c. 1868. Date of photo unknown.

Special thanks to Richard Corcelli for sharing these wonderful old photos.
