My father (john Robert Meehan Gordon) was the only child of Russell Charles (known as Bus). Bus was an Air Commodore in the RCAF - he paid his way through the University of Saskatchewan by playing cards. I have a letter he wrote about the family if you are interested.Jane Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02206889244043926076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055652709980263711.post-47929594030308865212021-04-07T20:22:48.326-07:002021-04-07T20:22:48.326-07:00Was the Harris Hotel owned by a Graydon Gratton at...Was the Harris Hotel owned by a Graydon Gratton at one time? <br />Dmsmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00614107782585724946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055652709980263711.post-90620406327359255252020-06-06T10:34:28.433-07:002020-06-06T10:34:28.433-07:00Im unsure of your request of info on Bauders famil...Im unsure of your request of info on Bauders family. My Grandfather was one of the Gordon brothers in the blog. Im not aware of that name but it is very possible that they knew one another as everyone did in those days. They bought the Hotel in town so im sure everyone had passed through there at some point in time. Sorry i couldnt have helped you with info, but thought a response was needed.

I have a picture of it. I know very little about their life there....as when they arrived there or why they went there. They are from Verona, Ont. and they headed back east in 1918 or 1919. They settled in Randolph, Vt. USA. My grandfather's name Maxwell Nelson Bauder...is there some way I could find out if there are any Bauders in the Harris area.

Gordon) his father was indeed Charles Gordon the eldest brother with the moustache. In your pics. I’m fascinated with this, and I’d like to put out notice to any other of the 7 brothers descendants that whoever is open to it we should set up a reunion/union. To me having only been able to come so far with the history of our family it would be awesome to see what the brothers have started . This would be epic.

My great grandfather was William Douglas Gordon(W.D./Bill) as far as I know he farmed in Saskatchewan and assisted with hotels that his uncles owned in Vancouver, having spent the rest of his years out there in and around the Shuswap. I don’t know who his father was and I’d like to learn more. If anyone has info please do share, it would mean a lot.
