Mar., 2017: George W. Chip Bagg of Woodbridge with horse Trixie, ca. 1915
This image, taken ca. 1915, features Mr. Geo. W. Bagg and his horse Trixie at the delivery box along one of the Woodbridge rural mail routes on the Seventh Concession. Rural mail delivery service was established in Woodbridge in 1914. Prior to this, rural inhabitants often had to walk or ride considerable distances to obtain their mail at a local store. By 1918, Woodbridge had three rural mail delivery routes, greatly improving communication among secluded farmers. Mr. Bagg delivered mail by horse and buggy from 1914-1918.
