'The Kith and Kin Left Behind': Notes by Canon John Willis - 1947
|
| Abstract |
The Montreal-born John James Willis (1877-1965), a Canon in the Church of England, outlined his family's history in notebooks in 1947. His father was the owner of Willis & Company, pianos and organs. The Montreal-based company was founded in 1884 and at its peak manufactured 3,000 pianos a year. It went out of business in 1978. Cannon Willis served in Anglican parishes in Montebello, West Quebec; Stanbridge East in the Eastern Townships; in the Little Burgundy area of Montreal; and Hudson Heights and Como, Vaudreuil. The author gives a short excerpt from Cannon Willis' notebooks.
