| Description : | A piece of paper containing a typewritten transcript of a newspaper article dated May 16, 1930 from the Port Credit News about Arthur Harris. The newspaper article describes some of Arthur Harris's boyhood memories of the Port Credit Indian Village, the teams of wagons loaded with grain and flour going down Mississauga Road to the sheds which lined the riverbanks and the busy harbour full of sailing vessels. Handwritten in proper left margin near top is: "112" in blue ink. The reverse is a letterhead for North American Life Assurance Company. |
| Fonctions : | This item is part of a box of original papers, transcripts, research notes, and newspaper clippings compiled and transcribed by Geoffrey and Kathleen Sayers between 1970-1975. The notes and transcripts were written on the backs of papers related to Geoffrey's job in Insurance. Geoffrey's great grandfather Captain James Beveridge Harris purchased Benares in 1837. Captain Harris and his wife Elizabeth (nee Molony) had 8 children but only one surviving son; Arthur, who inherited the house and property. Arthur and his wife Mary (nee Magrath) had two daughters, Annie and Naomi. While Naomi spent her entire unwed life at Benares, Annie was married to Beverley Sayers. Their three children, Geoffrey Harris Sayers, Dora Sayers Caro and Barbara Sayers Larson, donated the home and many of the original furnishing to the Ontario Heritage Foundation (now Ontario Heritage Trust, or OHT) upon the death of their aunt, Naomi Harris in 1968. It was restored and fully furnished with Harris Family items and opened to the public in 1995. |
