| 351 | John James (JJ, or Jack) Codville was born 12/9/1851 (1901 Census says 11/19/1851) in Quebec City, QB, the son of Hilary and Mary Ann Robinson Codville. At the young age of five, John's mother died (1856), eight years later his older brother Hilary died (1864), and when he was 22, his father died (1873). When his father died, John and his sister Mary inherited the family assets. That same year, John invested heavily in the grocer firm Thompson, Codville, and Co., becoming a partner and providing the principal funds for its inception. When John's sister Mary was married in 1877, the wedding was held at John's home in Quebec City, QB. After the announcement in 1881 that the Canadian Pacific Railway would pass through Winnipeg, the number of wholesale establishments jumped from twenty-six to sixty while the number of grocery wholesalers increased from four to nine and stock values nearly tripled. Much of the growth was generated by local capital, but a large portion was beginning to be funded by eastern companies. The Thompson, Codville Company (later The Codville Co.) transferred its base of operation from Eastern Canada to Winnipeg. The company prospered by offering basic staple items rather than luxuries. The Thompson, Codville Company Building (Sures Building) is an historic landmark in Winnipeg today. Situated between the elaborate Telegram Building, built around the same time, and the Geo. D. Wood Building of the 1890s, this warehouse is a rare example of a modest-sized structure of the city's first boom period that has not been significantly altered. The building is located at 246 McDermot Avenue. In the photo, the second storey sign reads, "Buck's Stove Works, J.W. Griffin & Co."; while the main floor sign is, "W.G. McMahon Wholesale Provisions". The smaller sign is, "G.W. Macowen Raw Furs". In 1887, John married Miss Edith Anna Lorrine C. MacDonnell. They had two children: Francis Hilary MacDonnell Codville born in 1889 and Maude Edith Crawford MacDonnell Codville born in 1892. The Quebec grocer branch was closed in 1888, but John continued to expand the Codville Co which eventually had braches in Brandon and Calgary, Alberta (under Codville, Smith Co., Ltd.). In 1895, Codville and Co. moved from the Thompson, Codville Co. Building (Sures Building) to a larger facility. A stove retailer and a pork-packing firm moved in to share the original building, dividing the former Codville warehouse into two separate sections with individual entrances. In 1895, a rail spur line was built in the lane that ran between Bannatyne and Market streets to service Ashdown Warehouse. This ensured that goods could be delivered and shipped in railway boxcars directly to and from this locale, which encouraged other wholesalers to move to this area. In 1899, J.H. Ashdown commissioned architect J.H.G. Russell to design a warehouse for Codville and Company, a grocery wholesale firm, at 179 Bannatyne Avenue. This location was separated from the Ashdown Warehouse by an empty lot. Over the next eleven years Russell designed various additions to the two buildings eventually joining them and increasing their height to six stories. In his 1906 "A history of Manitoba: Its resources and people", George Bryce includes a biography of John James Codville on page 473 . This biography details that John was an "enthusiastic hunter... and has hunted and fished from California to the Atlantic Ocean". The family is shown in the 1901 Canadian Census living in Winnipeg. Household members are: John J. Codville, age 49 (head); Edith A. C. Codville, age 38 (wife); Amelia L. MacDonnell, 68 (mother-in-law); Francis H. MacDonnell Codville, 11 (son); Maude E. C. Codville, 8 (daughter); and two domestic servants. Amelia L. Chesley MacDonell died at Winnipeg, 10/5/1902. She is buried in Beechwood Cemetery, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada with her husband Donald W. MacDonnell in the family plot where John James Codville is also buried. It is not known at this time when John and Edith moved from Winnipeg, but John and Edith had a home built in Ottawa, designed by Werner Ernst Noffke (1878 - 1964), one of Ottawa's most influential and prolific architects. Francis listed this address for his father as next of kin on his WWI attestation papers, signed 24 Sep 1914. The "JJ Codville Residence" still stands at 443 Daly Street and today serves as the home of the Polish Embassy. John James Codville died in 1915 at the age of 62. He is interred at Beechwood Cemetery, Ottawa, Canada. It is believed that after his death Edith moved to British Columbia to be near their son, Francis. Edith is buried in British Columbia. A letter from John to his sister Mary in 1881 details some of his (and his partner Bertie Thompson's) early efforts to establish the wholesale grocery business of Thompson, Codville Company in the booming town of Winnipeg. | CODVILLE, John James (I742)

| 352 | John's birth was announced in the Buffalo County Journal on Thursday Jan 1, 1920 stating "Dr. and Mrs. E.W. Jardine are the happy parents of a bouncing 11 1/2 lb son, born to them at La Cross on Saturday. Congratulations." Enlisted in the U.S. Army on 04 Aug 1942; served in WWII as Branch Immaterial - Warrant Officers, USA and listed civilian occupation as Semiskilled occupations in processing of dairy products. Enlisted as single, with dependents (likely his mother?) He grew up in Alma and moved to Durand in 1938. In the 1940 census, he was a high school graduate, 20 yrs old, living in Durand with his widow mother, Mary (50 yrs), and Mary's widow mother, Ann Myers (76 yrs). John was on public emergency work as a laborer for the Civilian Conservation Corps. Neither his mother nor grandmother were working. John's father died in 1936. It appears that John and his mother remained in Alma until he graduated from high school, then moved to Durand to live with his grandmother. John was employed by the Tri-City Dairy and Durand Creamery before going to the post office in 1961. He was listed as a postal employee when he died. John died at the Methodist Hospital in Rochester, MN. | JARDINE, John M. (I1247)

From PRONI, Dr. Michael Dewar wrote The Scarva Story and in it he describes "The sight of their thin little nags and the wretched dress of their riders, half naked with sabre and pistols hanging from their belts, looked like a horde of tartars." "The Enniskilleners were without uniform for even when they were supplied with them, they preferred to fight in their shirt sleeves."

| 362 | Letter written by John's son Edward states: John Jardine was born at Dumfries Scotland and as a boy was apprnticed to learn the blacksmith trade. 'I' do not know what progress he made or how long he worked at his trade, but he finally landed at Cannington, Canada, where he set up shop and went to work. He met Elizabeth Edwards and after a courtship, which was strenuously objected to by her prents, an elopement was planned and executed. They left there, took up a homestead. This was at the time the Civil War (1861-1865) was on and in order to avoid the draft law, he relinquished his homestead. From that time on [John] was engaged as engineer on lake vessels. The last few years before the death of mother (Elizabeth Edwards Jardine) he was running a tug boat towing vessels in and out of the harbor at Milwaukee, WI. Letter from John Jardine to his daughters: Feb 17, 1878 West Albany Dear Daughters, I received your letter last night and was glad to hear from you it had laid in the post office four days before I got it as I live seven miles from the post office.

James Whelan, that is the man I work for, started for the western part of Minn. to visit a sister of his, he then intends to go to Dakota to see his brother and I don't expect him back for a month or six weeks and the place is left in my charge till he comes back so it is impossible for me to come now.

Spouse was M. C. Ford; no children listed. I checked in the newspaper for an obit but found none. You might want to check in Pratt County as Isabel is on the county line and some people up there consider Pratt home town. Also thought it odd she was buried as Gillis instead of Ford.

| 390 | Martha is buried in Boutelles Cemetery where her father, William , brother, Samuel , and mother, Nancy are buried. She shares a grave marker with John Gillis, her brother. The 1901 census of Inverness, M?GANTIC, QUEBEC shows these two entries in the same household, both as head of household: John Gillis, head of household, born 4/14/1839, age 61 Martha Gillis, head of household, born 5/21/1823, age 57 It appears these two unmarried siblings lived together all of their lives. They share a gravestone in Boutelles Cemetery. Although the Martha in the census record is shown as born in 1823, her age of 57 indicates that is a mistake, making 1843 as shown on her headstone the correct year of her birth. The online Boutelle Cemetary transcription lists John Gillis as Martha's husband most likely simply an assumption because they share the same headstone and last name and lived during the same period; however they were siblings and neither married. !BIRTH-CHRISTENING: Paul Vachon, THE ANGLO-PROTESTANTS OF MEGANTIC COUNTY, Repertory of Births, Marriages, and Burials; 1826-1991; Societe Genealogigue de la region de l'Amiante, Thetford Mines, Quebec, Canada, 1992, Pub.

| 394 | Mary Ann Robinson was married to Hilary Codville . According to a Quebec Record search, Mary Ann Robinson was born in County Tyrone, Ireland. She died 11/9/1856 at the age 42 from consumption in Quebec, Canada and was interred in Mount Hermon cemetery on 11/12/1856. Her religion was listed as Wesleyan and the officiating clergyman was Rev. Ryerson. A transcription of the Codville headstone includes "Sacred to the memory of Mary Ann Robinson the beloved wife of Hilary Codville died Nov 9, 1856 - age 42 yrs." Mary Ann had three children: Hilary Jr., born around 1847. He would have been 9 years old when his mother died. He died at age 16. A daughter, Mary Elizabeth Codville , born in 1849 and would have been 7 when her mother died. Her youngest son, John James, born in 1851, was about 5 years old when his mother died. | ROBINSON, Mary Ann (I41)

| 396 | Mary Elizabeth Codville Gillis was the daughter of a very wealthy family and grew up in Quebec City, Quebec. Her mother, Mary Ann Robinson Codville , died when Mary was seven. Mary had an older brother, Hilary Jr., who died when he was 16, and Mary was just 14. Mary's father, Hilary Codville , was a merchant. Hilary died when Mary was a young woman of the age of 24. Family lore states that Mary was a sole heiress to the prospering family business of exporting; however, when her marriage was announced in the newspaper, it stated that she was married at the home of her brother, now identified as John James Codville, and letters and legal documents between the two have been found. It appears that when Mary's father died, the family assets were dispersed between the two siblings. Shortly after, John was a principal investor in the Thompson, Codville Co. which later became The Codville Co., a successful grocery wholesale business throughout Canada. Legal documents show that when Mary married William, she signed over power of attorney to her brother, John. It is likely that due to distance and difficulty transferring funds between the United States and Canada that Mary entrusted her brother to assist in managing her portion of their inheritance. Before her marriage to William McNabb Gillis, Mary was accustomed to having many maids and servants; it is said that she never even combed her hair. Her son Ernest Benjamin Gillis later related to his grandsons that his mother, Mary, had extremely long hair - down past her knees. It must have been quite an adjustment to be married to a poor country preacher. The couple married April 24, 1877 at 3pm in the afternoon in the home of her brother, John James Codville , in Quebec City. The service was performed by the Rev. H. E. Blaud. Their honeymoon consisted of a trip to Rutland, Vermont, where William was ordained as a minister and received his first appointment to the Methodist-Episcopal Church at Landgrove, Vermont. You can read more about their married life including their 25th and 50th wedding anniversary celebrations under William's story. Ernest also related that his mother, Mary, had a habit of hiding paper currency (large bills) in books. Once in a while they had to use those funds to get by; sometimes, she had forgotten where they had put the money and would accidentally find money in books being pulled out to read. According to Bill Baker, a grandson of William Mc Nab, Mary's father, Hilary (or Frank?) Codville, owned the Codville Company, a wholesale grocery distribution in western Canada. Frank gave her stock in the company. After William died in 1928 at the age of 83, Mary kept up her own home, living there in summers and spending winters with her daughters who also lived in Windom. Mary passed away at age 90 on April 22, 1940. | Codville, Mary Elizabeth (I35)
