Biographical history
James Smith Bangs was born in Hawkesbury, Ontario, on 7 February 1826, and died, as a result of drowning at Snake Rapids on the Madawaska River, on 23 April 1867, leaving a wife and seven children. It is likely that he was the son of Alonzo Bangs, reputed to be the first settler in West Hawkesbury. J.S. Bangs established himself as a storekeeper and fur trader, both in Pakenham, and following a fire that destroyed his general store, in Arnprior, Ontario.
