  • Notes 
    • Nathan came to Ontario in about 1910 and was classified as a Mens Tailor on his death registration. His address at death was 593 Markham St., Toronto. "The Bermans established a business in Leeds, England, which was managed by several of (Nathan's) brothers. He in turn would act as a connection to the Canadian market. (Allan presumes) that he did fairly well, since they were the first family in the neighbourhood to have both a car and an icebox. ... They would take frequent trips to Buffalo, where for some reason they would purchase a parrot. Actually two, since the first one died on the trip back. They had put the cage on top of the car and (Allan) can only guess that the parrot swung to death. Nathan Berman died in 1929 from an ear infection."

The Sugar Rose

I stood in front of the long mirror at the end of the upstairs hall and gazed at the beautiful dress Mom had made for me to wear the following day to Carol�s wedding. The blues, greens and mauves all cascaded throughout the chiffon material, interrupted only by three light blue ribbons sewn around the empire waistline. I was also wearing my first pair of pantyhose with a hint of green and my first pair of one-inch heeled sling-back shoes, green with white buckles. I was going to be 9 in a few months and was old enough to dress like a young lady.

Uncle Emmett

Dad had two brothers who lived close by. Uncle Chester and Aunt Hazel lived more or less beside us, down a long driveway that wound its way around and behind our farm. Uncle Emmett, who was a bachelor, lived in a little log house down the road from our farm. It was built in the 1800�s by Dad�s grandparents, Richard and Rachel Pennell, when they arrived as of the first families to move to Ontario from England. The house still had a lot of the furniture that Dad�s parents, Adoniram and Alice Smith, had purchased from the Eaton�s catalogue. The fire burning in the wood stove made the house snug and warm in the winter.
