Charles Salsbury (1900) – Travellers Insurance Company.

From Wikipedia:

“Travelers was founded in 1864 in Hartford. It was originally founded to provide travel insurance to railroad travelers at a time when travel was far more risky and dangerous than today, hence the name. Along the way it had many industry firsts, including the first automobile policy, the first commercial airline policy, and the first policy for space travel. By the early 1990s, Travelers was predominantly a general property and casualty insurer that also happened to do some travel insurance on the side, and it quietly exited its original business in 1993. What was left of Travelers’ travel insurance business was acquired by a private entrepreneur and is now known as Travel Insured International.”

John A. Pitt (1900) – William Dow & Company.

From: http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/dow_william_9E.html

“The son of a brewmaster, William Dow emigrated to Canada in 1818 or 1819 with substantial experience in brewing. He was employed as foreman at Thomas Dunn’s brewery, one of the few in Montreal at that time; by November 1829 Dow was a partner and was joined by his younger brother, Andrew, who had also trained as a brewer. Known as William Dow and Company after 1834, the year of Dunn’s death, the firm prospered and became one of the principal competitors in Montreal to Molson’s, the largest brewery in the city. Like some of his competitors William Dow was also engaged in distilling and in this business too he was a major local supplier. By 1863 his plant was producing some 700,000 gallons of beer in comparison to the Molson’s 142,000 gallons. As his business grew, Dow took in other partners besides his brother (who died in 1853). During the early 1860s he was joined by a group of associates, headed by Gilbert Scott, to whom he eventually sold the business for £77,877 in 1864; it kept his name.”

The wading pond in Westmount Park (currently without water). In the 1930’s this was called “the pool” – used by the Model Yacht Club as well as the Anglers’ Club for casting practice.

Someone made a ring of small stones surrounding a maple sapling. This is “hidden” under the boughs of a large pine tree near the clay tennis courts.
