Notes |
- Forneri Frederic Passmore, according to city directories and to his will, which was dated 9 June, 1892, worked as a surveyor's assistant, probably with his father. Later he worked in a bank in Hamilton. He evidently was a shrewd investor, and at the time of his death in 1932, his estate was valued at over $80,000, including about $75,000 in bonds and indentures, and about $6,000 in real estate and mortgages. His real estate consisted of a vacant lot in York Township (lot 49, Plan 959), and three houses in Toronto - at 214 Shaw St., and 85 and 87 Ossington Ave. He left his estate to his brother, Alfred C. Passmore, who was also the executor of the will, with the stipulation that after Alfred's death, the remainder should be divided equally among Alfred's children, once they reached 28 years of age. Other beneficiaries, in case Alfred died without children, were Forneri's Aunt Mary Ann Passmore and his second cousin Thomas Fortescue Downing.
Forneri's probate papers revealed that his 9 June 1892 will was witnessed in Toronto by his aunt Maria Louisa Passmore, and by Emily Perry, who was or had been a servant to members of the Passmore family, notably Forneri's brother Alfred. The probate declaration of Emily Perry (whose married surname had become Short) stated that Forneri was a surveyor's assistant, living in Toronto until 9 June 1892, and that he subsequently moved to Hamilton and ceased being a surveyor's assistant.
At the time of his death, his occupation was listed as "none". His address was listed as 91 Charles St., Hamilton Twp., Wentworth County. He had been living there for 2 years.
