spent four years at Rochester and obtained an excellent grounding in music. All through his life music was to be one of, if not his favourite hobby. His training at Rochester proved invaluable in later years because of the sight reading and his choir work there.

apprenticed as a baker

Albert then answered an ad for a farm hand. Although he did not have any experience, he landed a job with Oliver Sproule and his family, in the Orangeville district. He was welcomed into the family, and they became life long friends.

A very pretty and interesting wedding was solemnized at St. Peter's church on Saturday afternoon last, when Mr. Albert Jarvis and Miss Annie Runciman, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. Runciman, 70 Francis street, were united in the bonds of matrimony. The ceremony was performed by Rev. F. Walling, rector of St. James' church. The bride was attended by Miss L. Boden, and was given away by her father, while Mr. W. Runciman, jr., acted in the capacity of best man. Mr. Sidney Walling officiated at the organ, rendering Mendelssohn's wedding march. The bride was attired in white voile and shadow lace trimmed with white satin, and wore a veil and wreath of orange blossoms. The bridesmaid was very prettily attired in blue silk. After the service, the happy couple returned with their many friends to the home of the bride's parents, where supper was waiting. After justice had been done to the good things provided, Rev. P. Walling delivered a brief speech, which was concluded by offering a toast to the happy couple. The presents were numerous and included many handsome and useful articles. The groom's present to the bride was a pearl sunburst, to the bridesmaid a gold chain and cameo pendant, and to the best man a pair of gold cuff-links. The bride and bridegroom left on the 9.05 train for points east on a honeymoon trip. A musical evening followed, conducted by Mr. H. Hackman, while Mr. Sidney Collier and Mrs. Richardson acted as accompanists. A very enjoyable time was spent, thanks to the efforts of the host and hostess and Mr. and Mrs. Chadwick. God Save the King brought the happy occasion to a close.

The bakery was located at 11 Depot Street (later Ontario Street) in a run-down dilapidated two-storey brick building. It had very rough wood floors, one brick oven (with the fire right in the oven), an old three bag bread mixer, and old divider and an old panner. On the property was a large two-storey frame barn and a four-bedroom storey-and-a-half house, in front of which was a stockroom where certain baking supplies such as chocolate, nuts, raisins, etc. were kept. The house needed a lot of work done on it to make it half liveable, and must have been rather difficult after the nice home on Maple Avenue.

Deliveries for the first 15 years were confined to a radius of ten miles of the bakery, but eventually two trucks delivered in Hamilton. Two more stores were opened, one on Ottawa Street in Hamilton, and one in the village of Vineland.

Albert Jarvis, baker, of Grimsby, vs. John Henderson and James Henderson, Niagara Falls and Welland, merchants. The plaintiff claims $5,000, the setting aside of a mortgage of $4,000, an injunction restraining the defendants from dealing with the mortgage pending the trial, and costs, alleging misrepresentations in the sale of a bakery business at Grimsby for $14,000. The plaintiff claims the defendants repeatedly stated they had paid $14,000 for the business and that £1,000 in improvements had been made, while after the purchase plaintiff ascertained the defendants had paid only $10,000 for the business.

The defendants deny any misrepresentation, claiming they had never said they paid $14,000 for the business or that improvements of $1,000 had been added.

The case of Albert Jarvis, baker, of Grimsby, vs. John and James Henderson of Niagara Falls and Welland, merchants, was dismissed yesterday afternoon, the plaintiff paying the cost of the action. [ . . . ]
