Ernest Ralph Purdy was the Vancouver superintendent of The Bradstreet Company, a commercial and credit reporting business. He lived at 1040 Denman Street in 1906.
Early Life
Ernest Ralph Purdy was born in Belleville, Ontario, on August 28, 1874. His parents were Ernest Ralph Purdy (1935-1916) (often called “Ralph.”) and Sylvia Maria Haines (1840-1882).
To Vancouver
By the 1890s, Ralph Purdy (Ernest’s father) was living in Vancouver, operating a real estate, renting and insurance agency.
By 1899, Ernest was a broker with his father’s company.
In 1900 Ernest was the chief clerk at the Vancouver office of The Bradstreet Company.
To Nelson
In the summer of 1900, Ernest moved to Nelson, British Columbia, where he became Bradstreet’s representative in the Kootenays.
Marriage to Amy Smith
On October 16, 1900, in Nelson, Ernest married Amy Giles Smith. She was born in Canton, Illinois, on June 27, 1872. Her parents were Amos Smith and Katherine E. Giles.
In 1901 Ernest and his father appeared in the Nelson directory. They were living on Hendryx Street, near the intersection with Silica Street.
Return to Vancouver
Ernest returned to Bradstreet’s office in Vancouver in the fall of 1905. The Victoria Daily Colonist’s initial story referred to Ernest as “Mr. E.R. Peabody.”
The later stories confirmed that Ernest R. Purdy was the new superintendent of Bradstreet’s.
To California
In the fall of 1907, Ernest and Amy moved to California. Some newspaper reports implied that Ernest wanted to move because of his own health; others said that Amy’s health was the reason for the move.
In 1912 Ernest applied to become a naturalized United States citizen.
