- History / Biographical
- John Dover arrived in New York City in 1885 from Yourbrick, Lithuania with Aaron Cohen and his sister Minnie Cohen. Upon his arrival, John and Aaron began a short lived saloon business. John began selling dry goods and then ventured into Canada with the expansion of the railways. During his early trips into Canada, John made his living selling watches and chains to lumbermen. He travelled as far west as Winnipeg and was there at the outbreak of the Riel Rebellion (The North-West Rebellion) in 1885. John Dover married his childhood sweetheart Minnie Cohen in 1888 and the couple moved to Ottawa in 1889 where John became the first Orthodox Jewish settler in a burgeoning Jewish Community. John Dover first appears in the Ottawa City Directory of 1890-1891 and is listed as a peddler living at 15 Papineau Street. John and Minnie's first son, Harry Dover (b. April 1890), is thought to have been the first Jewish baby born in Ottawa. The couple's second son, Joseph, was born in 1895. By the early 1890's, John had sent for his father, step-mother and siblings Harry, David and Emily, to join his family in Ottawa. The Dover home on 74 Nelson Street soon became the focal point of religious life in Ottawa, housing religious services for three years before the creation of the Adath Jeshrun Congregation in 1892. John Dover received the charter for Adath Jeshrun and became the congregation's first president. Around this time, construction began for a shul to house the congregation. John Dover peddled with a team of horses until 1907. After that he operated a store in Almont, Quebec, for about seven years where he was the only Jew in town. In 1911, he opened a wholesale grocery business on York Street in Ottawa. He ran this grocery until his retirement in 1927. John and Minnie Dover’s children included five sons; Harry, Joseph, Dave, Jack, and Michael, and two daughters, Hattie (Nathanson) and Sylvia (Rosenthal). Harry graduated from McGill University around 1914 and became Ottawa's first Jewish doctor and the first Jewish coroner in Canada. Sylvia became a nurse and lived in New York. Many of the Dover sons worked in merchandising in Ottawa. Joseph Dover married Jean (b.1912 - d. May 11, 1952) in 1924 and had two children, Mavis (b. 1936 - d. October 13, 2010) and Gerry. In 1941 Joseph opened Dover Hardware.

- Notes
- 1. Original of John Dover biography located in Rabbi Lifschutz fonds. 2. Dover Hardware Store - As told by Mavis Dover at Hillel Lodge to Sharon Edelson on March 11, 2007. Dover Hardware was started in 1941 by Joseph Dover. Joseph was born in 1895 on Guigues Street in Ottawa. His wife’s name was Jean and she was born in 1912 in Ottawa. They were married around 1924. They had two children, Mavis and her brother Gerry Dover. According to Mavis, her father was a salesman and had always wanted a business in Ottawa. Their store was located on Sparks St., with branches on Rideau Street and Richmond Rd. They sold everything but clothing according to Mavis. Mavis called it a department store. The building was sold on Sparks Street to the Government and Mavis said her father always wanted to have that building for Gerry. (It was possibly expropriated).
