He was a well-known minister on both sides of the border for quite some time. Even so, he had to supplement his income in Buffalo by manufacturing lace curtain frames. (Mary Cassar comments that she remembers rural doctors in Paris, Ontario, having to farm and several Anglican clergymen who taught school and were music teachers.) 4. His son, Philander, lived at 61 Bird Ave. He was now a carpenter and no family is recorded as living with him.
