• Notes

  James Burgess was a Carpenter. He helped build St. John's Norway Church at Main and Kingston Road, in Toronto. He also helped build William Burgess School in Toronto, which was named after his brother. He owned 8 houses but during the depression he did not make his tenants pay rent so he lost all 8 houses. James lived with his son Mel during his later years and then with his daughter Mildred, in Alberta, Canada for the last 2 years of his life. He was a hard working man with blue eyes.
