  • Notes 

    • The following is an obituary notice from the Picton Gazette:

      " Wallace Eladure Goodmurphy, a highly esteemed resident of Bloomfield. passed away peacefully at Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital on Monday,
      December 5, 1960, in his 93rd year.
      Born on the Goodmurphy homestead in Hillier, on September 29, 1869, he was the son of Solomon Goodmurphy and his wife, Lydia Hutchinson.
      He was a farmer and farmed in Hillier until 1908 when he moved to his farm on Big Island, living there until he retired and moved to Bloomfield in 1914.
      He married Margaret Shankey, who came to this country from Scotland and with whom he had a long and happy married life.
      After Mrs. Goodmurphy's death in 1957, it was his wish to keep his own home as long as possible, and with the help of a housekeeper he was able to do so
      until two years before his death, when he needed more care.
      He was happy and contented at the Whiting Nursing Home, Cherry Valley Road, until two months ago when he was taken to the hospital.
      Mr. Goodmurphy was a friendly man and enjoyed visiting with his family and his friends. He always had a special welcome for his grandchildren,
      whenever they came to see him.
      In religion he was a Quaker and after the disbanding of that Order, many meetings continued to be held in his home. "
