John Murphy and Mary Jane Proctor lived in Stanley Bridge for some thirty years. After Mrs. James Proctor’s death on December 24, 1904, John and Mary Jane decided to leave Stanley in 1906 and move to New Glasgow to take care of James C. Proctor who was 85 years of age. They farmed in New Glasgow. James C. Proctor died in 1914 at the advanced age of 95.

After the death of his parents, Will and Winnifred Murphy moved to New Glasgow. The prop- erty in Stanley Bridge was rented. Wilfred Palethorpe lived in the house and ran a store. After Palethorpe gave up the store, Wesley Smith operated it in part of the house. The house was later consumed by fire. The land on which the house stood was transferred to William’s son, Eugene, and later, to his son, William. Shawn Murphy of Charlottetown is the present owner.

The Murphy—Proctor home and farm in New Glasgow has been in the hands of many owners. Among them, the late Judge R.R. Bell of Charlottetown. The Bells kept the home in lovely repair. The present owner is William Hammond. The farm land was sold to Elmer MacDonald.
