A Barrow of Fun

Photographic evidence proves that the descendants of John Culbert & Mary Ward enjoy posing with wheelbarrows.

First up is Merton Manford "Mert" Culbert, back around 1931 or so with the family dog at Poplar Farm (the Culbert homestead) on the Coursey Line near Lucan, Ontario...


Here's Mert Culbert again, in the late 1920s, surveying a bounty of fresh vegetables at Poplar Farm. Mert's parents, Myron & Effie Culbert sold their produce on Saturday mornings at London's Covent Garden Public Market, over 20 miles from their home near Lucan...








This next photo was taken in the summer of 1949 on the front lawn of the Kincardine Lighthouse...

Back row, left to right: Oran Westell (the Kincardine Lighthouse keeper); and husband and wife, Mac Jarrell and Susan "Toots" (Westell) Jarrell.
Front row, left to right: John Russell "Jack" Westell and his son, Ian Westell; Don Jarrell (son of Mac & Toots Jarrell); another young family member; and kneeling is Oran Westell's wife, Jenny (Russell) Westell.


Fast forward to the fifties with the terrible twosome, Ian Richard Culbert (left) and his brother, Philip Myron "Phil" Culbert on Poplar Farm...


You might be a redneck if your wheelbarrow breaks and it takes four relatives to figure out how to fix it.
