  • Notes 
    • living at Meaford in 1917
    • Lived in the househould next to his parents, with 4 of his brothers and 1 sister, in 1901 census.

      Lived in Toronto at the time of his death. His sister Ida (Croft) was at his bedside in Toronto for a few days before he died, and was with him when he died. Sam, Harvey and Everett went to the funeral as well.

      From his nephew?s (Elmer Howard) family history:

      Peter was a stonemason, who worked with my father. He was an easygoing sort of fellow, a great planner, a good father, and was always kind to me when I was a boy. He used to often see that I had a little silver to jingle in my pocket. He always appeared happy and could see the funny side of life. He loved a joke whether it was on him or the other fellow. He married Vina Neeley, raised six children: Herb, Fred, Myrtle, Olive, Jean, and Margaret. He lived in Toronto in later years where he carried on as a building contractor until he died, comparatively young ?56 I believe. From web site of Curtis Boyle, Jan., 2011.
