Westfield Parish

	Home of a Railway Worker's Family ca. 1920-2. Murray Chesley Banks was a section forman on the railway line running through Westfield. He and his family of a wife, Cleadie (Morehouse), and four daughters spent some time in this boxcar, which was fitted out as a home. They later moved into a nearby house, where they ran a hotel. On the ladder are Mabel (top) and Freda, and in the doorway is Cleadie and Nellie.
	Wash day Westfield Beach Railway Round Turn ca. 1920-2. Wash day was a bit different than we know it today. It must have been doubly hard considering their "home" conditions. From left to right - Nellie, Gertie, Cleadie & Freda.
