Horace Yeomans estate sous-fonds

The sous-fonds consists of business papers, and those other papers connected with the settling of Yeoman's estate. There is little of a personal or even professional nature in this material. The records have been arranged chronologically within the following record groupings: correspondence; bills and receipts; promissory notes; payment notes; assessment notices; accounts; legal papers; land papers; estate papers; and, miscellaneous records. Of particular note is a letter written on November 8, 1844 concerning Dr. Horace Yeomans and signed by Thomas Kirkpatrick and John A. Macdonald.

Dennis Lake estate sous-fonds

The land papers in this sous-fonds trace the changes in ownership of various lots, often from the original Crown grants. The business papers reflect interest rates, rents, assessments and taxes, school tuition, wages paid for work on the farm and the clearing of land. The prices of various household commodities, receipts for carding and fulling, invoices for spinning and weaving, and for tailoring, give interesting information about household life during the main span of years covered, 1832 to 1874.
