| Description : | A hand written note with some black ink referring to baby clothes belonging to Geoffrey Sayers's great grand Aunt. There are also in a woolen petticoat which was worn by L. Sayers as a skirt. Another note refers to Aunt 'Liz' Hamilton and her relatives. |
| Fonctions : | Elizabeth Hamilton was William Henry Draper's (1801-1877) daughter, the Chief Justice of Upper Canada. The Harris family married into the Draper family as a result of the marriage of Annie Harris to Beverly Sayers in 1906. William Henry Draper, Canada's first colonial politician to be styled 'premier', was instrumental in establishing the Conservative party in the country. He supported the Family Compact, which attempted to create an aristocracy linked by family, patronage and political and social beliefs to the professional upper middle class. See: George Metcalf, 'William Henry Draper', _The Canadian Encyclopedia, Year 2000 Edition_ (McClelland and Stewart, 1999), 693. ;; Items donated by Barbara Sayers Larson. Barbara Larson is the daughter of Annie Harris (1882-1986) and Beverly Sayers (1882-1976) and granddaughter of Arthur (1843-1932) and Mary (1859-1954) Harris. Barbara was born January 27, 1920 and was the youngest of three children. Barbara and her siblings, Geoffrey Sayers (1907-1997) and Dora Sayers Caro (1915-) donated Benares to the Ontario Heritage Foundation in 1969 after inheriting it from their aunt, Naomi Harris (1883-1968). Many of the items donated by Barbara originally belonged to her mother or Aunt Naomi and came from Benares. Barbara lived in the log cabin originally given to her parents by her grandparents at 1723 Birchwood Drive. Barbara still maintains a close tie with Benares and is now living in Kelowna, British Columbia, with her daughter. |
