Silverwood Dairy

In 1901, he married Eva M. Ferris, of Lindsay and had one son (Edward Gordon), and one daughter (Dorothy Marie).

The company was a dealer in cold storage products and a manufacturer of ice cream and butter; it began operations in London and provided services across Ontario.

UWO subsequently used it as part of the Law faculty, and later it was bought by King's University College and renamed Lenardon Hall after a revered founding scholar and teacher.

By 1984, Silverwood was taken over by the John Labatts Limited-owned Ault Foods and the name was carried on as a milk brand.

The non dairy part of Silverwood was renamed Silcorp Limited (1978) and became a Toronto-based operator of the Mac's Convenience chain.

Les Mandelbaum formerly of Westgrove Avenue remembers horse drawn delivery from Silverwoods in the early 1950s.
