[$1674.10 appears to be the income that Calvin Brooks McQuesten would receive from the Alexandra Arcade, from which he would have to pay Elizabeth Fuller McQuesten her annuity.]
1 Isaac McQuesten and John Harvey were partners in operating the cotton and wool mill in Hespeler Ontario from 1881 to approximately 1887 when the mill went bankrupt with $900 000 in liabilities. See W2652, W2511, for more information.
2 NOTE FOR SECOND NAME ON LIST: Dr. Calvin Brooks McQuesten, Isaac's half-brother, claimed that Isaac had used C.B.'s money in the Hespeler mill and felt his generosity had been abused, see W1652 and W1755.
3 This document: W2695, contains also: W2696, W2697, W2698, W2699, W2700, W2701, W2702, W2703.
The final calculation on W2703 appears to be the income that Dr. Calvin brooks McQuesten would receive from the Alexandra Arcade from which he would have to pay his father's widow, Elizabeth Fuller McQuesten's annuity. |
