The Coleman family was one of the first pioneering families in Innisfil. Three Coleman brothers (Richard, John, and William) lived on 200 acres of land at the second line of Innisfil after moving from County Donegal in Ireland in 1834. Pictured are Letitia Coleman (née Jones, far left), and Richard Coleman (far right), and their six children. In the back row, centre is Catherine "May" (later Mrs. Ferrier), and front row, left of centre is Ogle Cameron. The other sons were Harvey, David (known as Harry), Robert (known as Bob), and Stewart (known as Gowan). Both Bob and Ogle later moved west to Manitoba in 1904 and worked there in partnership, known as Coleman Brothers in Killarney, MB. Ogle eventually established himself in Limerick, Saskatchewan, soon followed by Gowan. Only Harry and May remained in the Innisfil area.
