  • Notes 
    • In 1871, Caleb was living in Sophiasburg Twp and I am assuming that he was married to his 2nd wife, Wealtherly Ann Reynolds in 1870.

      The 1881 Census for Hastings County has Caleb and his family living in Deseronto in the Millpoint area. His wife is listed as Wealthy, born about 1844.
      The Census indicates that Wealthy was of Dutch ancestry and was an Episcopal Methodist by religion.
      Caleb was working at a Livery and is listed as Quaker by religion.

      Birthplace of Elmer and John is not clear at this time, not sure when family moved to Deseronto area.
      My records show that Fred Milton was born at Millpoint, so I gather that the next child - Herbert Fuller, was born there also.
      Wilbert, Frank, and Pearl were all born in Deseronto, according to their birth records, as obtained by Tom Goodmurphy.

      In 1883 Caleb was identified as being a Cabinet Maker under occupation, and prior to that in 1881, as an undertaker.

      It is believed that the family moved to British Columbia sometime in 1886 after Pearl's birth in March 1886.

      1894 Vancouver Directory - C. Goodmurphy, Gentleman, living at 2720 Westminster, house built in 1894.
      1895 Vancouver Directory - same as above - also mentions the Goodmurphy Block at junction of Westminster Ave & Westminster Road
      1895 Voters List - C. Goodmurphy, Ward 5 #409
      1899 Vancouver Directory - C. Goodmurphy, same address
      1901 Vancouver Directory - C. Goodmurphy, living at 379 East 9th Ave., Mt Pleasant
      1904 Vancouver Directory - Mrs. C. Goodmurphy, beds at 2202 Westminster

      Caleb moved to Kamloops, possibly in 1901, to open a hotel, he died there in 1905.
