McQuesten. Isaac McQuesten and John Harvey had jointly owned the wool mill in Hespeler which went bankrupt in 1887. The personal and financial strain of this failure may have precipitated Isaac's death the following year. See W2652 footnotes for more information about the mill and some of Isaac's other business and legal dealings. |
