Time Summary
A summary of an interview given for different time stamps throughout the interview
0.0 Doesn't know when her family came to Deseronto, but they came from Quebec at the end of the nineteenth century: her eldest brother was born in Deseronto in 1899. The family (the Lavertures) lived on Main Street at first, near the station, across from the Arlington Hotel. Then they moved to 66 Green Street when Tillie was five years old. It had no electricity and an outside tap. Her father, an electrician, wired the house and had water put in. Opposite the house was a big woodyard, something to do with the Rathbun Company (where the family housing complex is now). The children would play in the woodyard.
3.40 Tillie's oldest brother worked in the Clapperton glass factory – he was a glass cutter. Tillie's brothers swapped pieces of the glass for a television from Shaw's in Napanee. Tillie's father was the projectionist at the theatre in Deseronto. Professor Epps played the piano.
5.20 Tillie identified Alec in the photograph of the Clapperton glass factory and her cousin, Lena Edwards. The glass factory was behind the bowling alley (now the Deseronto Public Library). Beatrice Palmer worked at the factory, too. Her brother was out of work when the factory burnt down. He sometimes worked at the theatre, relieving his father.
8.20 Tillie had two brothers, Alec and Bill, and one sister, Mary Louise, born 1908. Tillie was born in 1916 and Bill (William) in 1913.
9.08 Tillie went to the Public School in Deseronto, and then through to Grade 12 in the High School. Then she went to Napanee and took Special Commercial. The family spoke French at home, as her mother couldn't speak English, although she could sing the song 'It's a long way to Tipperary' in English, because of the war. Her father could speak both, but the three of them spoke French at home. Tillie knew more French than English when she first started school. When her mother died in 1938, Tillie only used English and forgot a lot of her French. There were other French-speaking people in Deseronto – her Dad's mother and his sisters were all there, so it was possible for her to manage
12.50 Teachers at school: Miss Smith, Miss Warren, Mr Ostrander, Miss Long, Mr Hough, A. D. Campbell, Miss Baird and Miss Balance. In Napanee she had a teacher called Miss Daly and Mr Egan.
14.16 Tillie nearly got a job with Sears as a translator, but she stayed home, not wanting to leave Deseronto.
15.06 Tillie's father used to repair clocks and watches, as well as working in the theatre. Tillie would help him. He was a good electrician – did a lot of wiring of homes in Deseronto. Once the inspector got to know him, the inspector didn't bother checking the work, if he knew Joe Laverture had done it. He also made radios. Her cousins would come to hear the hockey on the radio. Tillie would go with him and help with the wiring when she was small.
17.43 Memories of stores on St. George Street: Ed Roach's butcher's shop, Mason's store, Froste's store, which sold scribblers for school, a hat shop (McClaughlin) – every Easter Tillie's mother would buy her a straw Easter hat with ribbons. Across the street was the undertaker, Dalton. There was a bake shop along there, too, run by the Detlors, relatives of Blanche Detlor.
20.26 Tillie worked at the Town Hall sometimes, when they were busy. Tillie lived on Mill Street when she was married, next to Blanche Detlor, whose father, Mr Ostrander, was the principal of the Public School.
22.48 Tillie lived in Napanee after she married her husband. He was from Hay Bay (died November 9, 2008). Tillie worked for Archie Burley, in the office, doing his books. He'd taken over a fuel business from Hunt's and sold cars. Tillie first worked in the office of the garage business on the Highway, then when he took over Hunt's she was transferred to the other office on the waterfront. After her marriage she stopped working and went to Hay Bay for a while. Then her sister got ill – she had polio and was going to have an operation on her foot to take the brace off. Then they bought a house at 81 Mill Street, where they stayed for 42 years. Then her husband bought a fuel and garage business in Napanee [Mill Street Gas and Oil].
25.45 The Shermans bought their Mill Street house from an auction. Only Mr Sherman turned up and the Town said that he could have the house for the amount of taxes that were owed on it ($400-500). The house had been owned by a German teacher, who had gone mad and the Shermans were allowed to keep or sell the furniture that was left by her in the house. They kept some of the books.
31.00 Tillie could remember going to Vaudeville shows at the theatre. She got in free, as her father worked there.
31.55 Her father had two cannons, one of which he would fire every New Year. The other was sold to Harry Hatch for his yacht. Tillie doesn't know what happened to the cannon. Joe Laverture made the cannons himself. One was brass and the other nickel.
34.40 Memories of other children on Green Street – McCabe family, playing hide-and-go-seek, jacks. Tillie didn't skate, but they would go down to the mill pond and played on the ice. She didn't swim. Her mother didn't work. Her sister Mary made elements for toasters for the Redi-heat company. Joe and Alec both worked at the Redi-heat company, down by the waterfront, in the big red brick building.
38.13 The Burley family had twin girls, whom Tillie babysat for, as her first job, before she went to work in the office for Archie Burley.
39.09 Always went to St. Vincent de Paul church in Deseronto – christened and married there. Her husband didn't go to church with her. Priests she remembers: Father Martin, Father Farrell, Monsignor Lacey (the last mass he said in Deseronto was Tillie's mother's funeral mass), Father O'Reilly. The church was fairly full on Sundays, but there wasn't much money in the collections, as times were hard.
41.20 Depression memories – her brother bought her clothes when he worked at the glass factory. When he wasn’t working, he would go and cut wood, because the family were on relief. At Christmas, gifts and a chicken were given to the family, but her mother didn't have enough fuel to cook the chicken, but the Houles next door brought over a bag of coal so that they cook the chicken. Her mother always said that it was important not to go to bed hungry, so they would eat a piece of toast or something. Her father wasn't working at Naylor's during the Depression.
43.46 Tillie went to Sunday School until she was 13. Tillie and her mother went to mass in the morning every day. Sunday School was in the afternoon, taught by the priest or a woman – Mrs Hunt and Nora Fox.
45.00 Mr Sherman worked on his parents' farm, brought tomatoes to the canning factory and took milk to the Hay Bay cheese factory every morning. He didn't like farming, so he didn't take over the farm from his parents, though he could have done.
47.50 Tillie's parents didn't have a car or a telephone. Mr Sherman used his parents' car and then bought new cars once he ran the garage.
49.55 Lots of snow in the winter – remembers her brother shovelling snow.

Time Summary
A summary of an interview given for different time stamps throughout the interview
0.0 Delores: born in Deseronto, studied nursing in Kingston in 1959 at the Hotel Dieu Hospital School of Nursing. Her mother graduated from Kingston General Hospital in 1933. Father Martin helped get her into the program there.
1.55 Evan Joseph Gardner, Delores' father, came to Deseronto in 1932 [as undertaker]. He had taken his training in Toronto and bought the business from Mr Cornstalk, in St. George Street. In 1947 he converted the Dryden House (Centre Steet) to a funeral home. The St. George Street building (on the site of the liquor store) was a block, with Gardner's furniture store at one end, the caskets in the middle and Cora Mason's store in the third and a Chinese laundry at the end. Gardner ran an ambulance service and opened a 'Five to a Dollar' store.
4.50 Family lived in Green Street until they moved to the house on Centre Street. They lived in the whole house, but when there was a funeral, the downstairs rooms were used for the bodies. One year, the family had to have Christmas in the kitchen, as the three downstairs rooms (front room, library and dining room) were being used for three different funerals. Their mother had to move the tree three times.
6.33 Evan Gardner came from Norwood originally, then worked in the Royal Bank in Toronto. He came to Shannonville on paydays with a satchel of money and a handgun, so people could cash their paychecks. Then he changed career and trained as an undertaker and got his embalming licence.
8.10 Story about the previous undertaker: Mr Cornstalk - a drinker – used to sleep in one of the caskets when he'd had too much to drink.
9.15 Evan and his wife met at the United Church
9.42 Describing how the funeral home was used when they lived there. It had three fireplaces, a butler's pantry, maid's pantry and coal chutes. A fun place to grow up – a back and front staircase, curved railings to slide on. Mr Allen bought a house on George Street, the Gardners bought the Dryden House and Miss Dryden (a relation of the Rathbuns) bought the Allen house – so the three families moved on the same day. There was an alcove on the stairs.
12.00 Mrs Gardner took phone calls and helped to set the women's hair and apply make-up. She didn't continue nursing after she married. She had been a private nurse, nursing Mackenzie King's grandmother on Highway 15 for two years.
13.26 Attended Deseronto Public School. They came home at noon for lunch – envied the children from out in the country who got to eat at school.
15.25 The daughters had no involvement in the business, although Elaine did used to play at burying her dolls. Once Elaine tied herself up as Joan of Arc (to the stake) – Delores rescued her from dying.
17.10 Memories of Deseronto Public School. Both sisters enjoyed it. Used to sit on the wall at recess. At the High School there was only one person in Grade 13 and six in Grade 12.
18.18 Delores bowled in the bowling alley and was a member of CGIT (Canadian Girls in Training) and in Brownies and Guides and in the choir of the United Church, with Nora and Jessica Cochrane. The organist was Gerald McCaul. The choir was full, with six men and ten or twelve women.
19.57 Elaine was taught Sunday School by Mrs Joyce and Delores remembered Mrs Townsend, the minister's wife and Mrs German before that. They got a star for attendance.
21.00 Janie Armitage was Delores' best friend in Public School. They got water from the Puttnam family's well on the corner of Green Street when they lived there. There was a little grocery store in the street – Delores once was sent with tickets to buy milk during the war and broke the bottle. Her father had some extra coupons. The coal came in a horse and cart. Her parents worked well together.
22.45 Dr Harold Boyce and Cecil Duffield were friends of the Gardners. George Jackson would help Mr Gardner. Mr Don Walker helped with lifting people. Mr Gardner had a 7-passenger Plymouth which could be used as an ambulance. In 1940 he got a Cadillac hearse – Delores' aunt was peeking out of the back window and scared the other drivers. It had carvings on the side in the form of velvet drapes and a cross that could go on top for Catholic funerals. No animosity between the denominations in Deseronto. Mr Gardner belonged to the Lions Club, the Independent Order of Foresters, the Oddfellows and Masons. The youngest Master in Deseronto in his time.
27.02 Went to movies at Naylor's Theatre on Saturday afternoon for a nickel, seeing two features and cartoons. They put on plays there when they were in Public School, to a full theatre. The Gardners' mother remembered when it was a Vaudeville theatre and Delores believed that Buffalo Bill Cody played there (a friend of Mrs Martin on the reserve).
28.30 Evan Gardner's wife's uncle, Russell Thomas lived in Deseronto. He worked for Canadian Pacific as a telegraph operator, as he was losing his sight.
30.00 The funeral business was sold in 1949, to Jack White. Mr Gardner was diagnosed with a disease that prevented him doing the undertaking.The family stayed in Deseronto.
31.42 Cars – Plymouth, then a Chrysler Royale. Delores' father in law was a doctor, who could have got a new car during World War Two, but he got theirs painted instead, much to the disappointment of his family.
32.27 Television – the Gardners were the last people to get one. Were living over the store in Main Street then, around 1954. Cecil Duffield took his own TV apart to see how it worked, but couldn't get it back together. Had crank phones – phoned the operator in Malley's drugstore. Miss Roach was one of them. The store was 67 and the house 60.
34.00 From the funeral home they moved to the apartment above the current Dollar Store on Main Street. It had been a hotel and during the war Mr Gardner made three apartments on the upper floor and rented them out to airmen.
35.00 Delores banked with CIBC as a child. The alarm for the bank was in the Gardners' store, next door. Elaine worked out how to trigger the alarm by throwing her ball up at it. Mr Gardner had his car stolen three times from outside their house in Green Street. It was found in Peterborough, Belleville and Trenton – he always got it back.
37.00 Delores remembered a big bonfire by the canning factory at the end of World War Two – they burned effigies of Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito on an empty lot. She worried that bombs might land on Deseronto – she didn't know how far away England was. Remembers being careful and rationing. Elaine remembers being told not to go past the end of Green Street.
39.30 The Lions Club used to have events in the summer in Rathbun Park. The girls rode their bike around town a lot. Delores worked for her father during vacations in the Five to a Dollar store, wearing roller skates behind the counter so that she'd be tall enough. She shut her fingers in the cash registers once. They'd visit their grandparent and aunts. There was a polio epidemic twice, so her mother would always go into houses they visited to make sure that no-one was sick before the girls could go in. They used to swim off the dock, which was very deep. Elaine had a rope attached to her bathing suit.
42.19 Businesses: clothing store at the corner of St. George Street, Mr McCullough's drug store – he was responsible for issuing driving licences. Mrs Gardner didn't drive, so Delores did a lot of the driving, as soon as she reached 16. Everyone knew the route for the driving test – down the Main Street, up to the Highway, down to the cemetery, turn around and back into town – no parking involved. You got the licence that day. The Macdonald's grocery store came later. Malley's was a great place for sundaes, sodas and magazines. Jewellery store – Gerald Lott. Next to the Gardner's shop, Ernie Luck had a furnace business and next to that was Burkitt's grocery store, with Wannamaker's butcher's department. Then the bowling alley and another meat market, run by Ken Jackson. Dawson's car dealership. On St. George Street there was Cecil's repair shop and Stover and Sager's groceries.
45.10 The Gardners always did their grocery shopping locally. Mrs Gardner always sent them out for ground round steak, rather than hamburger. The liquor store was in the Baker Block on Main Street and next to it was the hardware store and pool hall – which the Gardner sister were to stay out of – that was all for men. The United Restaurant was owned by the Chapmans then. Beside it was a small house with the Napanee Reporter newspaper offices on the lower floor and an apartment above it. Lauren Clark's father had the mill.
47.00 Metcalfe's – memories of taking peas from the back of the trucks as they came into the canning factory.
47.40 A large mirror with a marble base in the funeral home was originally from Oronyatekha's house. The Gardner sisters own the mirror and base still. The family used to fish around Foresters' Island.
49.30 The Gardners could see the ferry from their apartment on Main Street and would watch the ice coming and going. Farley Mowatt's boat was down at the marina. Mrs Gardner painted a picture of the church on the Reserve.
50.55 Winters – used to toboggan behind the Public School. Skated down by the glass factory. Hagerman boy fell through the ice and died of pneumonia. The sisters skated a lot. Delores played hockey on the school team, wearing figure skates.
53.19 Family moved to Kingston in 1968. Delores was married in Deseronto in 1959. She did school nursing with her father-in-law. Did some camp nursing at Camp Iowa in the summers. Now lives in Battersea, Elaine in Kingston.
57.38 Railways were still running to the canning factory and coal yards when the Gardners lived in Deseronto, but there were no passenger trains in the town then. Behind their apartment on Main Street, the bank and Ernie Luck let them use their land and Mr Gardner rented land from the railway, to make a garden. He raised pheasants and rabbits. He used to use banty hens from Mrs Maracle and Mrs Barnhart to hatch the eggs.
59.56 Went to Prince Edward County for apples in the Fall. Mr Gardner was pleased to have the bridge. They liked going over on the ferry and to the Sandbanks. There was a lot more snow in the winter. They were here for Hurricane Hazel – at a movie in Kingston when it happened. Some trees down in this area.
1.02.25 Delores' bedroom was in the front of the funeral home: the first time the fire alarm went off startled her: it looked like the fire truck was heading straight for her room.

Time Summary
A summary of an interview given for different time stamps throughout the interview
Part one:
0.0 Born on a farm west of Enterprise in 1930. Moved April 1, 1938 to his current farm Deseronto. No electricity in the farm in Enterprise until 1937. Fred Perry, an entrepreneur owned the farm, which was run by his son, Hugh. Fingland family took over the farm. It didn't have any electricity. Mr Fingland senior dug the holes and put in the poles and agreed with the Town's Reeve, Mr Kirby and Stan Hughes, the foreman of the utilities that they would put in the wires down Finglands Lane. Only dug wells – took the cows up to the creek to drink. Had to bring them down into town to drink from water troughs by the Public School, seven or eight at a time.
3.54 House and barns built by the Rathbun family. The main house burnt down in around 1906. The Moon family owned it in the First World War. Had to cut down some of the trees at the lower end of the lane when they built the airport at Camp Rathbun. Story about the German spy who was caught interfering with the wires on the aircraft, causing them to crash. He was shot at the quarry and buried there.
7.00 Cecil used to cut ice out of the bay. Archie Burley had a coal yard down by the bay.
7.55 The farm was an experimental farm under the Rathbuns. Bob Moon had a dairy in Deseronto and a large family – they owned the farm during the First World War. The Finglands have been there for 72 years. The current house and barns were in poor shape when they moved in, so they hired Hiram Barnhart (who lived on the Reserve) to fix them up and put new cedar siding on the house
10.40 Had as many as 50 cows and as much as 20 acres of tomatoes, growing them for canneries Deseronto, Shannonville and Canada Packers in Belleville. The Metcalfe cannery in Deseronto could process 400 bushels of tomatoes an hour: four men working continually. John Baer was the popular canning variety of tomato in the early years, followed by Clark's Early. Fred Powell ran the show – very good at growing tomato plants – farmers would be lining up with their wagons on May 24 to collect their plant. They were grown in hot beds. Lots of people involved in the picking of the crop later on.
13.45 Woodcock family, tenants of the Finglands, had a big garden and would grow all their food for the winter. Farmers would be lined up to offload their tomatoes, but they could be rejected if they were not of a good enough quality. The hot beds would be covered with hay at night. Thirty or forty peelers were employed at the canning factory and at least a hundred in all at the tomato plant. Alice Brant picked tomatoes for the Finglands, and would bring up her family to help if there was going to be a frost. Took two to three weeks to get all the tomatoes planted at the farm.
17.25 Canning factory photograph – memories of Cribby Blake, who appears in it. He was run over by a wagon at one point. He had four children who did very well. He babysat for the Fingland children when they first moved to Deseronto, as he didn't get on well with his wife. Norm Macmillan had the blacksmith's shop. Fred Powell was the chauffeur for Clayton Metcalfe's father and was in charge of growing the tomato plants. The factory processed peas, corn and carrots.
21.30 Farm was mainly dairy, but also grew pigs. Jerry Fox on Maple Avenue had a pig and lost it: Don invited him to his farm to see if he could identify his pig amongst the fifty or more there. They would take an old 1936 Chevrolet and fill it with eight or ten six-year-old pigs and take them to the market in Belleville to sell them for $13 a pair and come home with $75 to $80.
23.17 War changed things – for the better. Don's dad worked at the Mohawk airport as a painter – new buildings going up. The airmen were supposed to help the farmers. One called Whitey helped out on their farm. In around 1942 Don's father picked up a hitchhiker at Kingston called Jimmy King, heading for Kingsville. He'd been kicked out of the army because he was too young. Ended up staying at the farm to help out. His family was a boxing family and knew magic tricks. Malley's drugstore fixed up soda fountains and stools for the airmen.
26.31 The Sexsmith house on Highway 2 (former Rathbun property) – was divided into apartments. It had a bowling alley between it and the Wigwam. One night, Arnold Kimmerly's apartment caught fire and the bowling alley burnt down. Don helped remove furniture, but the bowling alley burnt down. Ross Sexsmith developed the area around the house – Centre Street, Maple Avenue and Stanley Street – after the war. It had been used for cattle by Harold Rathbun before that (Pat Fox and Vince Culhane mentioned in this context). Arnold Kimmerly did all the plastering for the new houses. There was a barn to the north of the Wigwam, whose foundations are still there.
31.45 Deseronto Public School: Miss Bowen, Miss Warren, Miss Hunt (grade 3 & 4), Miss Burley (grade 5), Jean Schell, Mr Nobes. Bill Schell (Jean's brother) managed the theatre [Naylor's] – Eleanor Tunnicliffe looked after the tickets and the popcorn. A good movie on Monday and Tuesdays. Amateur night and photo nights on Wednesdays and Thursdays, in the intermission. War films on Saturdays and news reels. Bill and Eleanor eloped after a movie one night (she was still quite young).
Part two:
0.0 The school had separate entrances for the boys and girls. Don's father was on the school board. The children played in the field where the current Public School is, during recess.
2.16 Don was at the High School in Deseronto through to grade 13. Mr Hough – one of the teachers at the High School – was one of the senior boys' Sunday School teacher. Mr Bowen, principal of the Public School, taught the junior boys.
3.20 Stores on St. George Street – Roach and Whitton meat store, on site of the current LCBO. Whitton family supplied the meat, Ed Roach ran the store. "Is that meat tender, Ed?" "It's as tender as a woman's heart."
4.43 Washrooms at Deseronto Public School were inside, unlike the school Don started at in Enterprise. Grades 7 and 8 went to the High School as cadets two or three times a week during the war, with High School boys as their officers. Learnt how to fire guns at the canning factory. Don had to get up early in May to help on the farm, as there was a shortage of labour during the war. In some years, the High School didn't open until October because the children were needed to work at the canning factory. One year, there was a new furnace being put into the High School and it didn't open until the end of November. Clifford Reed was principal at that time, who taught math – too quickly.
9.22 Bought groceries at Stover & Sagers (became Walker's), Ed Roach's butcher's store. Cora Mason's Five and Dime store. Chinese laundry in the same group of buildings.
10.00 Houses being torn down when the Finglands arrived in Deseronto. Hagerman's bakery. Canada Optical used to be a creamery, owned by the Therrien family. Finglands' milk used to go to a condensery in Napanee.
12.50 Farm buildings – work done by Don to improve them. No milking of cows done their now. A hostler used to live in the long barn. There were as many as 50 teams of horses there in the Rathbun days. Used to be a cottage on the lane, too. Don worked on the farm as soon as he was able to stand up. His mother had eczema on her hands. He had two brothers and a sister and was the eldest. When the Korean War started in 1950, the family bought a farm in Don's name to prevent him from being conscripted. In 1968 he went back to the family farm, which was 171 acres. The Kimmett farm was owned by the Trust and Loan Company and there was still an airstrip on the east side of the Boundary Road when the Finglands moved into their farm in 1938. There was still a hangar there, too.
22.14 Don worked at the Ideal Vendors plant one winter when they instituted a night shift, but otherwise he only worked on a farm. The Finglands originally came from Scotland and the first Fingland worked as a stonemason at Fort Henry in Kingston. His mother's family were Daveys, who were United Empire Loyalists at Bath. The Davey House (where Don's grandfather was raised) is still there, as a heritage building. The Finglands were Presbyterian, so in Enterprise they became members of the United Church when the churches merged in 1925. In Deseronto the minister was Reverend McAvoy ("as Presbyterian as you can get").
26.30 Don taught Sunday School. The United Church was full in 1940. Sunday School was held in the afternoon, taught mainly by school teachers. Don was president of the Young People's group for the district. Lots of social activity. Much fewer people attending the church now. Later on, the Sunday School was held in the morning before the church service.
31.06 The family's first car was a 1929 Chevrolet. The first new car was in 1955, bought from Archie Burley and was an automatic, sandy, with leopardskin seats. Bought a new car every five years, as they got rusty.
34.21 Used a 'cellar-away' to keep the milk cool. Other people in town used ice boxes or lowered 30-gallon cans of milk into the well to keep it cool. Put a milk-house up in 1943 or 1944, which pumped water from a well around the cans. Got electric coolers in the 1960s.

Parking Lot Closer to Reality
Deseronto - Deseronto Town Council last night pushed the new community parking lot a step closer to completion with the passing of a bylaw to execute and complete a quit claim deed in favor of Evan J. Gardiner [Gardner] and Ernest Luck for the property between Hudson's Mill and the rear of Jackson's Hardware Store.
The two main street businessmen have been planning a free parking area for local shoppers for about a year, but the plans could not materialize until this additional land was acquired to provide adequate space for proper entrances and exits.
During the session with Mayor Harry Sweetnam presiding, the resignation of Councillor William House, who had moved to Ajax, was accepted.
The streets committee, headed by Councillor Clayton Brooks, is preparing for the winter months. Councillor Brooks reported the purchase of 400 additional feet of snow fence.
Attention was also directed to the new ruling of the department of transport calling for the installation of special blinking lights on all vehicles used for snow removal.
