• Notes

  Weaver Street by Lary Turner This is another in a series concerning Hespeler's street names. Weaver Street is named for a very prominent family in Hespeler's history. William Henry Weaver was born in Waterloo Township on August 19th, 1849. At age 16, William had finished school and his parents were eager to see him started in some business that would provide a future for him. His father went to see his friend, Shubel Randall, to discuss taking young William on as an apprentice at the woolen mill just started by Mr. Randall, his brother George and their cousin Herbert Farr (Randall, Farr & Company). Shubel Randall contacted the mill manager, Mr. Charles Cliff, and asked him to take the young lad under his wing and teach him the textile business. After assurances that the boy was all right in every way, Mr. Cliff agreed to take him on as his apprentice. Fearing that the young lad would become lonely and homesick growing up in a boarding house, it was decided that William would live with the Cliff family. Thereby Mrs. Cliff could keep a better eye on him and Mr. Cliff could accelerate his learning of the textile business. William learned fast and extremely well and as the years went by, more and more of the day- to-day running of the big mill fell on his shoulders. By 1880 he had become the mill manager and retained that position for the next fifty years... Hespeler Happenings Winter 2010
