Note 1./ Partial E-mail : 12/12/2002 : From: [email protected]
I do remember being told by someone that the males worked in the brick-making yard near
Great Wakering before emigrating to Canada. My grandfather Fred owned a gravel quarry in
London, Ont. in the 1930s where he made cement blocks, which he then used to build houses.
I understand that he had quite a profitable business but lost most of his savings when a local bank
went bust during the Depression. He and my father built in partnership a number of homes in
London, Ont. in the late 1940s/early 1950s, one of which became our family home. Grandfather
Fred, or "Pop" Lizmore as he was known to everyone, died in a cement block cottage that he
himself had built at Boat Lake, near Wiarton, Ont.
There are only three things that I remember about Uncle Ab: a) he was tall and looked an awful
lot like my grandfather "Pop"; b) he wasn't married at the time I met him (was he ever married?)
and c) he was working at the township garbage dump in Byron, Ont. as a kind of a supervisor.
He had a little wooden hut at the site with a stove and he locked the gates to the site at night.
It gave him the opportunity to sort through the garbage and pull out things of value, like electrical
cables with copper wire cores, which could be resold for recycling. He was the original recycler !
