Christmas card

​c.1879


The back reads:
To remind my dear old friends of the name of Inkster or who once bore it. What I am, and shall be always, their sincere and affectionate
Harriet A. Boomer - 
in old St. Cross days, (Harriet Mills) -


We don't know who Harriet Boomer was, but she must have given this card to Marak and Harriet Inkster McMurray -- who attended St. Cross Ladies School with sisters Jane and Ellen.

Photo by Notman & Fraser
Toronto
​1880s

Harriet Inkster McMurray returned to the family homestead and built a fascinating legacy after the death of her fur-trader husband.

The photos in our collection show that she took her daughters on a trip east to Toronto in the 1880s, likely riding the new railroad there.
