MURPHY, E.R.
Visited the Bell Farm with the Tenant-Farmer Delegates on Oct 3, 1890.
E.R. Murphy came from The Kerries, Tralee, Ireland.
In 1890 the Canadian government invited a dozen farmers from Great Britain to visit Canadian farms in order to report on agriculture and the prospects of immigration. The Tenant-Farmer delegates spent the autumn of 1890 travelling from Eastern Canada to the BC Coast with a stopover at the Bell Farm, Brassey Farm and / or the Dominion Experimental Farm on Oct 3, 1890. E.R. Murphy was one of those delegates.
Although reports have been located for the other 11 Delegates, no such document has surfaced for Murphy. Hence we have no information on his opinion of the Bell Farm; or if he ever submitted his report.
