Died in the Township of Haldimand on the 8

Birth:
Exact birth date calculated backward from age at death

Death Certificate gives place of birth as "Ireland"
Obit gives place of birth as "County of Monaghan, Ireland"
Ireland as birth place on William Harrison SR's death certificate

Obituary:
Died in the Township of Haldimand on the 8

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.

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:
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:

"W.H. POLLY (sic)"

Obituary:
WM. H. POLLY DIES. AGED 87
WAS PIONEER

An old Trenton resident passed away at his home Monday morning in the person of Mr. William Harrison Polly in his eighty-eighth year. He was one of the old pioneers of Trenton having resided there for sixty years. Mr. Polly came to Trenton from Castelton as a young man when Trenton was nothing but a village. Here he settled and entered the exporting business. He entered the Customs Office in 1913 as Collector of Customs where he carried on his duties making a host of friends. He was superanuated in 1921 when he retired to his home on Murphy St.

He is survived by his wife and daughter, Miss Bertha Polly of Trenton. The funeral took place from St. George's Church on Tuesday afternoon the Rev. Heywood preaching the funeral sermon. Interment took place in the Anglican Cemetery where Mr. Polly will be buried. Many beautiful floral wreaths attest the fact of Mr Polly's many friends.

-Cobourg - Arrest for Forgery - On Christmas eve, Constable W. Orr went to Cramahe, about a mile and a half below Castleton, and arrested, Robert H Polley, who was charged with forging the name to his father, to a note about six years ago. After the forgery, Polley cleared out to the United States, where it is supposed he remained till about a month ago; when on his return the arrest was made, as stated. Constable Orr brought his prisoner to Cobourg, when his father satisfied the claimants of the amount in question with a new note, and nobody appearing against Polley, he was released.

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.

Witness at wedding:

007383-99 Harry Niles JARMAN, 24, L'Amable, Trenton, Mail Clerk, s/o John C. JARMAN & Elvira NILES married Sarah Elizabeth SPURR, 23, L'Amable, same, d/o Benj SPURR & Mary HILL. Wtn: W.H. POLLEY Jr. of Trenton and Hessie JARMAN of Bancroft on February 8, 1899 at Bancroft

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

"Hugh was her partner but they never married, she would have had to give up her widow's pension from the war if she married again."

Obit states "Mount Evergreen Cemetery" maybe she was moved (accounting for the late burial here) or maybe her remains are at Mount Evergreen Cemetery and this is just a marker?

Gord Polley was born on April 20

Birth:
In his house at 60 Fermanagh Ave

Military:
Dated 6 Oct 1943 however that date doesn't seem to make sense given his service.

Returning to Canada, Served 14 months in U.K. and N.W. Europe. Employed as an artillery surveyor with 12 FD. Regt. R.C.A. Has held rank of L/Sgt. Qualified as an artillery surveyor in U.K. Qualified as a clerk Stens in Canada.

No Crimes.

Medium statured healthy appearing man. Above average ability. Good motivation. Anxious to return to Canada and serve in C.F.E.F.

Religion:
"When I was 7 years old my father died and I went to live with my grandparents who lived in a town 100 miles away from Toronto. During the school summer holidays I would move back to my home in Toronto to be with my mother, brothers and sister.

While living with my grandparents I formed a regular pattern of attending Church and Sunday School and sang in the Choir.

While I was 12 years old I moved back to Toronto to live permanently and then reversed the former procedure by spending the summer school holidays with my grandparents. At that time I stopped attending Sunday School but did attend Church. The services seemed to have little meaning. At 16 I was confirmed by again although it was a moving experience I feel there was something lacking.

I as invited to attend the young peoples meetings at that Church which I did. This was where I met my wife to be.

I heard the gospel preached in Church regularly but I did not respond and resisted the invitations to attempt the Lord Jesus as my Saviour.

At the Church and young peoples we had a succession of Curate assistants. Finally a C.A. by he name of Maurice Murphy arrived and dramatic changes began to be made. As I look back I see how the Holy Sprit was at work in my life and before very long through the ministry of Maurice Murphy I was no longer resisting the Holy Sprit and the gospel messages and gave my life to the Lord Jesus. My wife to be, Betty, was also converted at this time.

During the years which followed the hand of God guided me along the path of my life and Bible study and prayer became important parts of my daily life.

I had 4 years of service in World War 2 where I was protected by the hand of God.

Returning from the war years in Europe Betty and I were married in 1946 and were blessed with 2 children - a boy and a girl both of whom committed their lives to Christ.

In 1960 I lost my job as the firm I was working with went out of business as they were no longer operating at a profit. After much prayer God directed me to start my own business which I am still doing.

In 1976 our son was killed in a car accident. Our faith in God was such we accepted this as part of His plan. At this time we felt the power of prayer as our friends upheld us before God.

The Christian life of course just goes on and on and each day there is a new opportunity to serve God. Each one of us is given certian talents and capabilities and we should be ready to be used by Him as opportunities arise. With our lives yielded to Him and praying for guidance day by day He will direct our paths."
