The 6 Children of Richard Culbert and Jane Fairhall

Richard Culbert (son of John Culbert & Mary Ward) married Jane Eleanor Fairhall on 16 December 1879. They lived at Poplar Farm on the Coursey Line near Lucan, Ontario, Canada. 

From 1881 to 1896 , Richard and Jane had seven children, six of whom lived to adulthood. These photos of the six Culbert siblings were taken in 1959...

Back row, left to right: George Arthur Culbert; Lela (Culbert) Beadle; and Myron Manford Culbert. 
Front row, left to right: Ethel Gertrude (Culbert) Gras; Hulda May (Culbert) Carscallen; and Mary Elsie (Culbert) Hodgson.
Looks like Hulda May (the oldest sibling) can't wait to get away from her little brothers and sisters!
There aren't many photos of these siblings all together because aside from Myron and Mary, they lived too far from one another to have regular visits. Arthur lived in Winnipeg, Manitoba; Lela in Stratford, Ontario; Myron lived on Poplar Farm near Lucan; Ethel in Vermont, USA; Hulda May in Whitby, Ontario; and Mary in Lucan. 

Many followers of the Culbert Family History blog are descended from this Richard Culbert-Jane Fairhall branch of the Culbert family.

    I remember visiting Aunt Mary at her home in Lucan when I was a child.

      I LOVED my great-aunt Mary! (your great-great-aunt). I'll never forget her. One of these days I'm going to write about her.
