1854 Letters to William Henry Beatty from his father James Beatty (father-in-law of Charlotte Louisa (Worts) Beatty)
Now and then we are lucky enough to stumble on a detailed account that a settler has left for posterity. James Beatty, the father of William Henry Beatty and the father-in-law of Charlotte Louisa (Worts) Beatty, left just such an account. Written in September, 1854, the account takes the form of a series of letters written to his son William Henry...describing his very eventful and difficult life.

1885 The race across the lake in a terrible storm to stop the fire
In 1885, the Oriole was in Niagara with her owner, George Gooderham aboard when the Esplanade fire threatened the Gooderham family distillery and elevator. The flames were visible across the lake and Oriole dashed for home, driven by an easterly gale.

Photo discovered hanging on the wall of the Granite Club a while ago. It says it was taken in 1888 so George H. would have been about 20 years old at the time. Presumably it would have been taken at the original Granite Club site on Church Street, not too far from where GHG built his house on Jarvis Street before he moved to St. George Street, up the road from his parents' house at Bloor and St. George.

On the ninth of August 1912, the College of Arms in the UK granted the coat of arms to “William George Gooderham of Alverthorpe in Rosedale in the city of Toronto and dominion of Canada”.
