Welcome
My name is Jim Murphy. I have lived in West Winfield my entire life as have several
generations of my family before me. I attended school at West Winfield and later Mount
Markham after the Bridgewater, Leonardsville, and West Winfield School Districts merged in
the late 60s.
After graduating from college I married the former Cheryl Armstrong from West Exeter
and purchased a home in the village of West Winfield near the site of the old Winfield
Academy. With relatives owning businesses in the Village, being involved in politics and
the local fire department, it was only natural for me to follow their footsteps. My
grandfather (Ben) and my dad (James F.) were Village Board members and Mayors; so far I've
only accomplished the Village Board member part, and have no desire at this time to be
Mayor! I've also followed in my dad's involvement in the fire department by serving, as
he did, as Fire Chief for several years.
My personal interest in computers, genealogy, local history and the advent of eBay
has led me to begin an ever expanding collection of local post cards and other times
associated with West Winfield, West Exeter and the surrounding areas. I'm glad that
Martha at New York GenWeb has provided me with the opportunity to share some of my cards and
photos with you. I hope you enjoy them and if you have any questions, stories, or history
to share, please forward them to the site manager or to myself.
