By 1912 Dad's mill had burned and he bought Harry Robb's mill at the north end of Eagles Lake. After running it a short time he sold out to Mr. C. G. Anderson of Toronto, and became the manager at a salary of $100.00 a month. In order to becloser to his work and to school, he built a little winter house close to the mill. We lived there for the winters of 1912-1914. Mother didn't like to have us board away from home to attend High School so Dad very generously let us move to Orillia where I started High School in 1915. We returned to the farm for two summers, and then made the house at the head of the Lake our permanent summer cottage. Later the Joe Church's, Dukelows, Watsons' and Aunt Bert Towle Built cottages close to ours. It became a syndicate in the 20's. When Mr. Anderson sold the mill, Dad took a Manufacturer's Life Insurance Agency under his uncle Mr. John Boyle of Orillia. He made the Hundred Thousand Dollar Club one year and had a very enjoyable stay at Canoe Lake, Algonquin Park. In 1921 he and Uncle Harvey started to run a mill at Deer Lake. This venture lasted for three years when Dad returned to Insurance. In the spring of 1932, Dad bought Robb's farm on East Bay, Eagle Lake. He had the lakeshore surveyed, built roads, sold lots and built cottages for rent, and for Other people. He suffered a heart attack in 1946. Four years later he took a stroke, and after a short illness, died in Burks' Falls Hospital on April 6, 1950. Mother broke her hip 1937, soon after we moved from Orillia to Sundridge. We lived there until Mother's death on Sept. 30, 1952. Bess started to teach in 1921, holding positions in Burks' Falls, Huntsville, and Orillia, In 1929 she went as a missionary to Shingle Point, beyond Aklavik, and taught in the first Eskimo Residential School in Canada. After 3 years there, she was secretary in the Arctic office for ten years until going to Fort George in James' Bay in 1944. There she taught Indian children and was Matron of the school. She is now deaconess in St. James' Church, Orillia, where we now live.
