• Notes

  I believe for some time prior to 1859, Edward Conway ran a shoe shop in the building at the corner of Queen Street and the Guelph Road. Later he became tenant of Thomas Hammett across the road. After his death his widow bravely carried on the business, doing herself much of the repairing so as to provide for her small children. In 1866, Henry Benn bought the business and operated in the same stand in 1866 and 67. In 1868, John McCarthy bought him out and moved the business to the corner of Queen Street and the Guelph Road, where he carried on until 1871 when he moved away. In 1871, Benn came back again for one year, having probably bought back the business from McCarthy. Although he shows afterwards for some time as the non-resident owner of a property on Albert Street, this seems to terminate Benn's business activities here Le Rue De Commerce, Other Times Other Customs Other Days Other Ways, Winfield Brewster 1954
