Biographical history
Dr. Edward H. Horsey was a medical doctor. He was married to Frances (Haven) Horsey. The Horsey residence in Kingston, known as the Craig property, was situated on the corner of King and Union Streets. Edward died in Chicago in 1890. Frances returned to Kingston, where she managed the estates of both her former husband and her mother (Theresa Isaac Haven). She remarried Dr. Chester Loomis Curtis of Kingston in 1894, and died in 1899.
Custodial history
This sous-fonds forms part of the Kirkpatrick-Nickle legal collection. The documents came from the law firm of Nickle and Nickle, which was founded by Thomas Kirkpatrick in 1828, and which continued under various names (Kirkpatrick Nickle) and with various partners until 1968. The Horsey estate papers were deposited, along with the papers of other clients of the firm, in Queen's University Archives during the 1960's.
Scope and content
The sous-fonds is comprised of the dealings involved with the estates of both Edward Horsey and Theresa Haven. The papers cover the period from 1870-1900 with the majority dated in the 1880's and early 1890's. There are a few documents, such as the original deed to the Craig property, that date much earlier. For the most part the papers are financial records, such as mortgages and leases, investment statements and inventories of current and fixed assets. Also included are several instances of litigation concerning the Haven-Horsey estate. The correspondence is mainly between Mrs. Horsey-Curtis and Byron Britton (the lawyer) and deals with financial and legal matters. Finally, there are several wills from Mrs. Haven and Mrs. Horsey-Curtis.
