• Notes

  He was a well known man, His mother must have been a smith. A building in Odessa is a heritage building in memory of him. Had a store and a Post Office (Was appointed postmaster in Odessa on July 7, 1841 and remained until hi s death), and (according to Nan) invented the system to sort mail by putting them in different bags for delivery. He married a Booth, and they were lumber people. He maybe lived in Ottawa? Nan doubts it. The Booths were very religous people. Aunt Muriel knows more about them. She's in touch with family Timmermans that nan has never met. (Nan: Cairns are the people Aunt Muriel knows).
