- Born in London in 1834, Mr. Ansell was educated in England and Germany. He came to Canada in 1860. He was an ardent British imperialist, and was acquainted with John A. MacDonald and George-Etienne Cartier from pre-Confederation times. In his "Welding the Lines of Union" he unfolded a scheme similar to the one later advocated by Joseph Chamberlain. Appointed Consul-General for Mexico in Canada, he resigned in 1913 due to age. He was deeply involved in Jewish educational and philanthropic work, and was the first chairman of the Canadian Committee of Jewish Colonization Association. He was a charter member and for 17 years president of Baron de Hirsch Institute and was instrumental in passing of legislation giving equal rights to Jewish children in public schools in Montreal. He died in Montreal in 1914.

- History / Biographical
- Ben Karp (b. 1918 d. 1991) was one of nine sons of Dora and Max Kapinsky. All, except one brother Nap Kapinsky, shortened their surname to Karp. To help with the family finances after the death of his father, Ben sold newspapers on the best location in Ottawa, Union Station and the Chateau Laurier. After graduation from the High School of Commerce where he met his future wife Etta Shulman, he worked briefly for the Government of Canada. He enlisted in the Canadian Army and was part of the infantry which liberated Holland. After a brief period of operating an IGA store, he entered the real estate business and formed his own company, Acadian Realty Co. Ltd. In 1990, Ben Karp received the Jewish Community Centre Volunteer of the Year Award for his outstanding achievement in volunteer involvement with the centre. He also was past president of Agudath Israel Congregation, a member of B’nai B’rith Ottawa Lodge since 1949 and a 36 year association with Rideau Kiwanis Club. He also served as president of the Ottawa Jewish Historical Society between 1986 and 1992.
- Acquisition Source
- Ben Karp, August 17, 1989. News Vendor Licenses donated by Mrs Ben Karp (Etta), September 23, 2002 and military material on October 3, 2002.
- Notes
- 1. One pin has the initials H.Y.M.A., the numbers 35 and belonged to Etta Karp’s father, Harry Shulman. The other pin has the word JAFFA and the number 37. 2. All Kapinsky boys, except Nap, changed their name to Karp as a simplification. Nap maintained the family Kapinsky name as he was heavily involved in the Ottawa Jewish community. 3. Of the nine sons born to Dora and max, eight survived infancy.

- History / Biographical
- Abraham (b. unknown d. November 17, 1970) and Freida (Hymavitch) Marcovitch, along with their eldest children Rachael (b. 1899) and Max (b. 1900), arrived in Montreal via Ellis Island, New York City, from Rumania in 1903. The family originally settled in Montreal as Freida had two sisters there. After finding peddling in Montreal unsuitable, the family bought land in Piperville (part of greater Gloucester) Ontario. In 1920, the family bought land in Bowesville described by some “the most beautiful spot in the world”. Their location contained two rows of maple trees which made a splendid view. The Marcovitch family grew to included Rachael's husband Ben Tuckman, Max, Nathan, Rose, Tom (m. Fanny Marcus), Lillian (m. Sam Saslove), Ben, and Sam. The farm produced peas, beans, and Golden Bantam corn. The corn and potatoes were bagged and sold to the Ottawa market vendors. It also became a “hospitable visiting place” for many Ottawa Jewish families, especially in the summer. The Marcovitch's property included a farm house and farm buildings originally built by the Bowes family. In 1949 the property was expropriated by the federal government for the enlargement of the Uplands Airport (now the Ottawa International Airport). Freida Marcovitch headed a citizens group protesting the first offer made by the Canadian government and advocated for fair compensation. The Bowesville farm community disappeared by 1951 with some residents resettling along the neighbouring River Road, however, most scattered to various other localities.
- Notes
- 1. Mrs Karp, in an April, 2006 phone call related that Golden Bantam Corn was a small varietal of corn having only 9 rows and is now unavailable. 2. Source of quotations: Book, "Bowesville: A Place to Remember" by Grace Johnston, 1988.
