Scope and content
Series consists of largely non-correspondence personal and domestic records created and retained by George W. Gordon in the course of running his small hold farm, his personal affairs, and his household. Series includes tax, insurance, and property records, account books, farming diaries, receipts, legal documents such as deeds and certificates, financial records, publications of personal interest, news-clippings, and ephemera.
Series includes several files documenting Gordon's membership in fraternal societies such as the Masons and the Young Men's Protestant Benevolent Association. As Gordon assisted in running local branches of the latter, there are several files of official records of the Association including dues accounts, dues notices, and correspondence.
This series contains a small amount of professional material retained by Gordon at this home in the course of his duties as justice of the peace and/or magistrate for Port Credit. This material includes impoundment records, court statements and notes, and lists of fines owed. Note that the bulk of the professional records which Gordon personally retained were received in a different accession, now comprising Series 10 in this fonds.
