| Fonctions : | John Frederick Bligh Livesay (1875-1944) was born in the Isle of Wright and immigrated to Canada when he was twenty. Known as Fred, Livesay moved to the Clarkson area buying some property from the original Benares Estate. Fred was a lifelong friend of the Harrises and had a particular affection for Annie, Arthur and Mary Harris's oldest daughter. Barbara Larson, Annie's daughter, recalls the stories of Fred wooing her mother and she still has many of the gifts he would bring Annie during their long friendship. Fred eventually gave up on Annie and married Florence Randal. Together they had two daughters, Dorothy Livesay (1909- 1996) considered one of the leading Canadian poets of the twentieth century and Sophie Livesay (1912-1991) who was a renowned artist. Annie and Fred remained close friends throughout their lives. Fred Livesay was a writer whose first full time newspaper job was with the Winnipeg Tribune in 1903. He later became the Western Associate Press Manger in 1907 and was instrumental in the formation of the Canadian Press where he was the General Manager for twenty years retiring in 1939. Fred also wrote many books and was a talented photographer. He spent his last remaining years in Clarkson. He died in 1944. |
