  • Notes 
    • Charles Edward "Charlie" Knowles was born on May 18, 1864 in Delaware, Ontario and came to Galt from Dundas in 1888. For a time he was associated with the Preston Progress and was, for a short time, a part owner of the Galt Reporter where he was in charge of the job department. Mr. Knowles withdrew from that partnership to purchase the commercial business of Jack Gibb which he then operated as the C. E. Knowles Printing Co. Ltd. In addition to running his business, Mr. Knowles was an avid curler and was honoured by the Ontario Curling Association with a life membership. Mr. Knowles died on November 4, 1949 and is buried in Mount View Cemetery.
