    Obituary
    • Joseph Maw (1854-1916)
      Implement and automobile merchant.
      Born at Peel County, Ontario on 4 February 1854, the son of Thomas Maw and Sarah Corbett, he received a common school education while helping his father farm and then took a course at the Commercial College, Toronto. At the age of seventeen he began an independent career as a travelling salesman for a manufacturing concern at Brampton, Ontario. In 1886 he married Mary Goodfellow, of Peel County. They had four children, including Evelyn Goodfellow Maw, who married Robert G. Rogers . After her death in 1908, he married Elizabeth Strevel, daughter of George Henry Strevel. In 1882 he came to Winnipeg as general agent for the Massey Manufacturing Company, and represented the firm for four years in Manitoba and the North-West Territories. He moved to Calgary as manager for Massey & Company, where he was an organizer of the Calgary Exposition and Turf Association, and for a term a City Councillor.
      Returning to Winnipeg he entered into partnership on 1 January 1892, with J. M. Ross of Hamilton, Ontario, in a carriage business named Ross & Maw. In 1896 he took over the entire business under the name Joseph Maw and Company. He was an enthusiastic pioneer motorist and in 1905 won the Winnipeg Industrial Exposition five mile open race.
      Ill health forced his retirement in 1913 and he died in 1916 in Los Angeles, California.

At this time Ontario was not yet part of the Dominion of Canada, but was called Canada West. The census taker took the information on the census day starting January 14, 1861. Census takers were asked to record information about all those who were in each household on the census day. A census taker might have visited a house on a later date, but the information he collected was supposed to be about the people who were in the house on the census day. Enumeration was by census district. Census districts were voting districts, not counties, although most have the same names as counties. For the most part, census districts were synonymous with cities and counties, and sub districts were synonymous with towns, townships, and city wards. Villages, small towns, and parishes were generally enumerated as part of the township in which they were located. Census district and county boundaries were not always the same and there were many variations from location to location.), Source Citation Library and Archives Canada; Ottawa, Ontario, Canada; Census Returns For 1861; Roll: C-1062 (Reliability: 3).
