Home Of Mabel Moir
Photo of a two-storey white stucco house on 2 Empress Lane, Cookstown, that was built around 1880. It was first inhabited by the Ashbury family, followed by Bob and Harriet Dutton and their son Gordon until 1944. Mabel Moir, her brother Edgar Moir, and nephew Clarence Copeland moved in the same year. Mabel and Edgar were the children of Innisfil pioneers Jesse and Clara Moir. After Edgar passed away, Mabel and Clarence moved to a smaller home on Wellington Street. Clarence died 3 October 1973 at age 61, and Mabel died on 23 March 1990 at age 101. Mabel was honoured with the title of Citizen of the Year by the Bicentennial Committee in 1984 along with Jack Baker. Len McAfee purchased the home after the Moirs left and in 1971 split the lot and built a brick home on the western portion. A Mr. Scruton purchased the home and remodelled it, and in the same year sold to Jim and Astrid Wilcox. In 1979 Brian and Margaret Ashley purchased the home. The house itself has a small front porch and dark trim and shutters on the windows. The back of a car is just visible on the far left of the photo.
