• Notes

  Letter of recommendation (original in possession of Susan Young) respecting Victor John Hill was written by J. R. Burnett, North Toronto Cartage (3383 Yonge Street, Bedford Park) on 28 March 1922 as follows: "This is to certify that Victor Hill has been in my employ as teamster from March to November 1920 and in that time proved himself to be a good faithful honest worker steady and very agreeable with his fellow workers." In possession of Susan Young, having been handed down to her by her mother, are four prize ribbons that had been won by Victor John Hill at the Royal Winter Fair held in Toronto, Ontario during the winters of 1924, 1925 and 1926. The ribbons are as follows: 1st Prize in the Poultry, Pigeons and Pet Stock category for 1924; 1st and 2nd Prizes in the Poultry, Pigeons and Pet Stock category for 1925; 3rd and 5th Prizes in the Poultry, Pigeons and Pet Stock category for 1924. Information from Susan's mother is that Victor used to raise Angora rabbits. Presumably these prize ribbons are for those rabbits. From: Jacquie in Canada In the 1921 directory I'm only seeing one Victor Hill listed but it says he was a student living at 555 Euchlid Avenue. In 1922 Victor is listed as a groom for the Toronto Hunt Club living on the south side of Glengarry Avenue. It seems to indicate Glengarry intersected with Avenue Road. There isn't a number listed and he's the only person listed on Glengarry in the directory. I was browsing through some of the census last night and I could have sworn I saw some entries for Glengarry but I can't remember where. I think it was in York South but I'm not sure. I tried again today and couldn't find it.I hope that helps a little.Jacquie According to the 1921 census Victor Hill emigrated to Canada during 1908. The family was living on Glengarry Avenue and he was working as a groom. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Fairweather family is for whom Victor John Hill worked at least in 1911 and possibly in 1910 in Wellington North.

He appears to have held the whole south-half of Lot 14, plus the upper right half of Lot 14, the remaining 50 acres of that lot being owned by Thomas Walsh. The closest post offices were the Goldstone and Parker post offices at equal distances from the farm. The closest village seems to be that of Drayton (Conc. 10 & 11, Lots 1 & 2) at quite some distance north from the property. Drayton is a community in Wellington County, Ontario, Canada. It is a part of the township of Mapleton in North Wellington County. The village is on the corner of Wellington Road 8 and Wellington Road 11, geographically northwest of Elora, Fergus and Guelph, and southwest of Arthur.
