| Sam & Gussie
move to River St. 1896 |
River Street was the eastern-most
street of the original city. Starting from King St. and heaing north to
Gerrard St. and the bottom of Riverdale Park, River Street was the smelly,
industrial corner of Cabbage Town. From their first home at 66 River St.,
Sam and Gussie could see across the street the now straightened Don River
and the CPR and failed Belt Line rail lines. Just south was one of three
local breweries, and a little north was a soap boiling factory. |

In 1898 the family moved across the street
to number 33. Sam's son Sidney had left, and they were rejoined by Gussie's
mother Emma and brother Albert  .
Here also, Sam and Gussie's last two children are born: Mabel Irene on
June 23rd, 1898, and Norman S. on February 15th, 1899. The families remained
on River Street until 1900.
