He and partner John Harvey had operated the cotton and wool mill in Hespeler Ontario since 1881, but the mill went bankrupt around 1887. See W2652 for more information. 2 Dr. Calvin Brooks McQuesten, Isaac's half-brother, mentions the use of money from the estate of Thomas Baker, Isaac McQuesten's father-in-law who passed away in 1887. 3 Note the deficit of $81,649.63 between Isaac's liabilities and his assets at the time of his death in 1888. In actuality Isaac owed around $900,000 at the time of his death (Whitehern Calendar, Minnes 1991). The accounts that explain the deficit are missing from the archives. |
