MANY TRIBUTES TO LATE W.H. POLLEY
Obsequies Largely Attended Service at St. George's Church on Sunday

The remains of the late William Polley, Jr., reached Trenton on Saturday and were removed to the family residence on Murphy Street, from whence the cortege moved on Sunday afternoon to St. George's Church for service.

The church where the deceased attended as a boy and young man was filled with his many friends, who gathered to pay the last tribute to his memory. Many friends, fellow workers of the C.P.R., and brother Masons of both Toronto and Montreal joined with his numerous Trenton friends in attending the obsequies.

The Church of England service was conducted by the Vicar, Rev. A. L. McTear. Rev. Canon Armstrong, Rector of St. George's Church for so many years and an intimate friend of the deceased and family, read the lesson. The choir rendered appropriate music and Mr. G. H. Cobley sang "One Sweetly Solemn Thought."

The pall-bearers were his intimate friends of Toronto. The honorary W. A. Bleecker, R. G. Weddell, W. H. Ireland, H. F. Whittier and W. House.

The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful and covered his grave in St. George's cemetery.

W. H. Polley, aged 43, former city ticket agent of the Canadian Pacific Railway, died early yesterday after a serious illness extending over a period of eight months, at his home at 60 Fermanagh Avenue. The funeral will be held from the home of his parents in Trenton, on Sunday. St. Alban's Lodge, 514, A. F. and A. M., of which he was a member, will have charge of the service. The body will be shipped to Trenton to-day. A Masonic service will be held in his home in Toronto at noon to-day. Mr. Polley began his railroad career as a clerk at the Union office in the Kind Edward Hotel, succeeding Christopher Bunting later as agent. In May 1913, he was appointed traveling passenger agent for the Canadian Pacific and in October, 1913, assistant city passenger agent. In December, 1918 he was appointed city ticket agent but was forced to leave his position in October on account of an illness which became aggravated, later causing his death. He is survived by his widow and four children, William, Alice, Gordon and Robert; a sister, Mrs. A. Maguire, and his parents in Trenton, where his father is employed in the customs office. Mr. Polley was a member of the Western Golf Club and was deservedly popular among a very wide circle of acquaintances.

Had spent 5 months in school at the time of the 1901 census

Death certificate incorrectly states place of birth as Canada.

Worked 52 weeks of 1910 at 50 or 60 hours per week earning $1100 that year

In 1911 he had $2000 worth of life insurance which cost him $65 that year

(Medical):Lymphosarcoma for 4 years before death.

Birth:
See alternate birth as more likely DOB.

The family story goes that he was born in Rochester New York when his parents were on a boat trip from Trenton to Quebec City. Born on the return trip to Trenton. However this seems to be a story created to cover up the fact that he was born before his parents were married. He is in the 1880 US census as "Willie McGuire" with his Mom living in a boarding house in Rochester. It is likely she was sent over there to give birth as it wasn't uncommon for unmarried girls to be sent away to have their children in those days. It is unclear when or where his parents did end up marrying but they are listed as married in the 1891 census.

Alt. Birth:
The 1880 census which was enumerated on 9 June for this household states his age as 4/12 (4 months old) and also states "Feb" as the month of birth which would be consistent with being 4 months old in June.

There is a high likely hood that this was his actual date of birth and that the August date was told to him as part of the cover up surrounding his birth.

Residence:
With his mother, under the name of Willie McGuire 4 months old (states Feb as his month of birth) Mother is also using the name McGuire.

Immigration:
1882 in 1901 census, 1881 in 1911 census, 1884 in 1921 census

By the time of the 1881 Rochester City Directory his mother is no longer listed, so they may have come back to Canada by that point. It's unlikely they would stay long after he was born.

Occupation:
Part owner of Polley & White, manufacturers of Canadian evaporated apples, and one of the largest handlers of dried apples and fruit, and also green apples, in the district. Gord Polley remembers his Grandpa was an "Apple man through and through" also that the evaporated apple factory caught fire and burned to the ground, unfortunatly there was no insurance so that was the end of that business. Some stationary from the apple factory still exists.

Apple Evaporator Plant located on Gilmour Hill which would be Dundas St. E and Marmora St area

An evaporator processing apples on Gilmour Hill has long since disappeared, but former employees recall with a chuckle that they very much disliked the Ben Davis Apples used for dehydrating purposes, while overseas customers seemed to be extremely fond of the variety. Likely the flavour improved during the sea voyage. - Trenton Past and Present

In the book Pioneer Life on the Bay of Qunite it lists a David McAuley who built "the first evaporator in the county, at Picton" he was also the first to start shipping apples to England. Could there be a connection?

Occupation:

An old Trenton resident passed away at his home Monday morning in the person of Mr. William Harrison Polly in his eighty-eighth year.

74 According to the Trenton Courier Advocate

Buried:
The Polley's are buried in Section F-183 2-1 to F-183- 3-4 A total of 8 grave sites.

Notes:

Married:
William and Mary do not seem to be married in Ontario, as of April 2008 I can't find any record of that marriage, they may have married in Rochester.

The census records from 1880(US) and 1881(CAN) show them as single and show their son William Jr as using the surname McGUIRE in 1880.

So if they got married it is more than likely in late 1881 or later, William Jr's immagration to Canada took place at either 1881(1911 census) or 1882(1901 census) so they may have been married before he and Mary came back to Canada.

The ship documents are confusing, the ship name is clearly listed as "Vancouver" on the outgoing documents, but it is packaged together with the "City of Chicago" documents. On it's arrival in Montreal it is again listed as the "Vancouver" however according to records the Vancouver was sold before it was finished being built by the Dominion line to the Inman line and renamed "City of Chicago" in the year 1883. On the arrival records it is listed as a Dominion ship. There was another ship in the Dominion line named Vancouver but the coincidence with the name "City of Chicago" being mentioned makes it unclear as to which ship this actually was.

(Research):I checked our marriage and death notice indexes, but couldn't find anything else. I also checked our city directories, but they didn't include Lansingburgh (north Troy) until 1860. In 1834 there was a John Hackett who was a farmer and a Thomas Hackett who was a brushmaker, and in 1836 there was a Thomas Polly who was a laborer, but there's no indication that they were related. They were all living in Troy. Robert and Mary Ann themselves were not in the city directory.

Troy Public Library

In the 1810 US Census there is a J Polley living in Troy, 5 members of the household, 2 white males under 10, 1 white female under 10, 1 white male aged 26-44, 1 white female aged 16-25. So J Polley is likely about 26 years old, his wife about 24 and three children under 10, this would fit with Robert being one of the three, likely the oldest. Robert's eldest son was named James Henry, could be after his father. - Source Citation Year: 1810; Census Place: Troy, Rensselaer, New York; Roll: 35; Page: 362; Image: 00037; Family History Library Film: 0181389

Obituary:
COUNTY NEWS.
On Sunday, the 10th inst another old resident, in the person of old Mr. Polly, passed away at Castleton. He was perhaps the oldest man in this or the surrounding part of the country - 90 years, was greatly respected, lived a pious and devoted christian life and leaves a grown up family to mourn the loss of a kind and affectionate father. - Enterprise.

- Likely a reprint from the Colborne Enterprise

Obituary:
The late Robert Polly, of Haldimand, passed away on Saturday last. He was in poor health for some time. He was ninety years old; having been a resident in that vicinity for over fifty years. The funeral took place on Monday, the Rev. Mr. Sutherland officiating, taking for his text part of the 15th chapter of 1st Corinthians, after which the remains were taken to the Castleton cemetery for interment. Mr. Polly leaves three sons and two daughters to mourn his loss. In his old age and in his affliction he was known to keep up the good cheer, putting his whole trust in Him who doeth all things well. - Enterprise.

- Likely a reprint from the Colborne Enterprise

Died:
The obit printed on April 21st 1892 clearly states that he died on Sunday April 10th. However the obit printed on April 28th 1892 says he died on "Saturday last" which I would take to mean the previous Saturday and therefore April 23rd. However that makes no sense in light of the obit on April 21st. If "Saturday last" referred to two Saturdays prior then it would be April 16th but I have to go with the April 10th date since it was mentioned specifically. It's possible that the death took place on late Saturday April 9th and therefore it was unclear if it was the 9th or 10th but I don't see how you get that from the term "Saturday last" unless this was a reprint from a much earlier date.

Robert married Mary Ann HACKETT on 27 Feb 1833 in Lansingburgh, Rensselaer, New York, USA. Mary was born on 23 Nov 1810 in County of Monaghan, Ireland; died on 8 May 1887 in Cramahe Twp, Northumberland Co, Ontario, Canada; was buried in May 1887 in Castleton Cemetery, Cramahe Township, Castleton, Ontario, Canada.

Obituary:

Died:
Feveral Debility & Old Age, Aged 76 years, 5 Months, 15 Days, Informant W.H. Polley (Son) of Trenton

Obit lists date of death as 8th May 1887, also her stone lists the same date. Registration date on death certificate is May (looks like 8th) 1887 as well. The death certificate clearly reads April 7th 1887. The death may not have been registered right away, the next certificate over there is a 4 month difference between the date of death and registration. However two certificates over you have someone who died on Oct 10th 1886 and was registered on July 6 1886, 3 months BEFORE they died.

So due to the inconsistencies on the death certificates I'll go with the May date for her death.

AKA Francisco? According to son John's marriage record but that same record also makes a mess of Jane's maiden name.

Not to be confused with Francis James McGuire born abt 1820 Ireland died 17 Sep 1906 Toronto Wife Anna McElheran 1832-1875 who was also a member of this parish.

In the 1851 census there are two likely matches for Francis, both living with their families and both in Hamilton Twp, Northumberland and both Roman Catholic.

Looking for info on Francis McGUIRE, found in 1871 Census in Murray Twp., Northumberland Co., age 49, born in Ireland. I am trying to discover if he is my Francis McGUIRE/MAGUIRE, born circa 1820 in Ireland, son of Robert MAGUIRE found in 1846 in Lugnafaughery, co. Leitrim, Ireland. Francis married Mary SIMPSON, d/o John of Co. Sligo, circa 1839/40 and immigrated to Upper Canada some time afterwards.

Will:
Difficult to read, here are some of the points I was able to pull out:

"Pay to my wife Elizabeth Brabdury the sum of one pound sterling weekly and every week during the remainder of her life". Goes on to talk about investments and then about his younger children and them reaching the age of 21 and how they will get "equal shares and proportions and the issue of any of them".

The next part is hard to make out but it seems to indicate that the properties and investments will be held until the youngest of his children reaches 21 and at that time they are to be distributed. It goes on to talk about issue of his children and them being included as well.

The trusties are able to use his money to maintain his properties and can give is wife any moneys they see fit until his youngest reaches the age of 21. They will also fund the education and maintenance for any profession or employment for the children.

Talks further about investment guidance for the estate (until the youngest reaches 21) and about maintaining the properties owned by the estate.
