    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:
    Began his career

    Residence:
    Birth of Son William

    Occupation:
    Letter from 1913 shows he was an Agent at the King Edward Hotel in Toronto

    William Henry Harrison was a general in the war of 1812 and was elected US president in 1840/41 and died months later in office. Maybe he was named after this US president?

    Residence:
    1869 William Polley: Concession 7. Lot 1, 50 acres. Value of each parcel recorded at 300. William Polley - 24 years of age, 1 person living in his household.

    Occupation:
    While going through the Castleton Women's Institute records, I found a newspaper clipping titled Castleton in 1870 by T. J. Wilson. It is undated and the newspaper is not mentioned. Under places of business it lists W. H.
    Polley, fruit tree dealer.

    Township of Cramahe Public Library, Castleton.

    Gord Polley also remembers that his Grandfather had a nursery business in Castleton because he had a sign in the attic of their house that said William H. Polley Florist from that business.

    Occupation:

    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?

    Residence:
    Boarder - Mrs Minnie McGuire

    Not in the 1879 or 1881 directories

    Residence:
    Surname McGuire with son "Willie" 4 months old. It appears she was sent to Rochester to give birth as she was unmarried at the time

    William MARSDEN ran a boarding house from 1880-1883

    Obituary:
    Mrs Mary Polley, Aged 74 years wife of the late Wm Polley former Collector of Customs died at her home on Murphy St on Monday, June 17th after a lingering illness of eight months. Mrs Polley was born in Murray Township on the York Road, the daughter of the late Frank and Janet Maguire.

    She is survived by one daughter Mrs Bertha Maguire and one sister, Mrs. Hugh Colborne both of Trenton. Mr. Harry Lafferty, York Road is a half brother.

    The funeral service was conducted by Rev. F. Arthur Smith in St. George's Anglican Church on Wednesday afternoon.

    The pall-bearers were Messrs E. James, A. A. Cullin, E. Wessels, Robt. Weddell, G.L. Bonter and A. Arnott.

    Died:
    Murphy Street

    73 years of age (According to Internment Records)

    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.

    Registered tonnage: 2859
    Passengers on voyage: 411

    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.

    Occupation:
    As noted on the ship's documents
