A.
J. came to Canada about 1850, coming to Simcoe about 1857 and taught
at the Union School. After a stint in Memphis, Tenn. as an
accountant, he returned to Simcoe, and purchased
Isaac J. Darling's
book store. A. J. published the Waterford Star newspaper
before purchasing The Reformer newspaper from Reuben Thorogood
in 1872. He brought his son Hal into the newspaper and turned The
Reformer over to him in 1881, retiring from the newspaper
altogether when he became Registrar of Norfolk County in 1884,
following Francis L. Walsh's
death. After Maria died, A.J. married her sister Susan, who had
worked for him in his book store.
After A. J. died, Susan lived with
her neice Enid. Also see his photo
