Biographical history

George Edwin Osborne Lilley was a photographer born in Kingston in 1918. George served with the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War II. Just prior to the end of the war and after the war, he was employed at the National Film Board of Canada where he produced films for foreign distribution, working under John Grierson.

After joining the militia he was, at the same time, actively involved in the public relations role of the Canadian Armed Forces. He served as Public Information Officer from 1955-1974. He retired from the Armed Forces in 1974. Mr. Lilley joined Transport Canada as Public Affairs Officer. He was stationed with the Canadian Coast Guard in Toronto.

Mr. Lilley had been interested in photography from an early age. For many years he was a freelance photographer in Kingston. His photographic work involved news photography, documentaries, advertising and promotional work. As far as the news side of photographic gathering is concerned, Mr. Lilley was under contract to provide news photographs for the Kingston Whig-Standard, the Toronto Telegram, the Globe and Mail, the Ottawa Journal, the Montreal Star, Montreal Gazette, the Associated Press, the United Press, Time-Life Fortune, and some European newspapers. He passed away on 22 November 2003.

General note

Earl Place is located at 156 King Street East. "The first house on this corner was a frame structure erected in 1802 for Captain Hugh Earl, Commander of the Provincial Marine. Its successor, the commodius stone house, was built in 1851 for Colin Miller, Son-in-law of Captain Earl and Anne Earl. The latter was the daughter of Molly Brant and Sir William Johnson. The house was occupied by Sheriff William Ferguson during the 1860's and early 1870's. The next owner was Dr. Orlando Sampson Strange, and the place was known as 'Montague House'. Prior to being converted into apartments, the building was owned for a time by the Knights of Columbus". (Information was taken from page 72 of 'Kingston Splendid Heritage').
