The Oakley family was a prominent pioneer family from Ontario, Canada. Abraham Oakley purchased land and began ranching citrus in Ontario in 1884, and his son Herbert Clubine Oakley was involved in the real estate business with his young uncle, Andrew Franklin Clubine. The image here depicts Oakley as the gentleman farmer with his family in front of their Euclid Avenue Stick-style home built in 1887, which still stands today.
