Allan Gilmour
Allan Gilmour moved his company headquarters to Bytown in 1853 and established what was to become one of Canada's largest timber operations. He was a major in the militia during the Fenian troubles and the first president of the Ottawa Curling Club. At the time of his death 110 years ago, his estate was valued at $1,000,000.
