S. Anglin & Company

1866-1920

Samuel Anglin was born in Kingston in 1842 and in 1870 married Miss Harriet Phillips of Cork, Ireland, who came to this country to be with her brother, Col. W. P. Phillips, who was stationed in Kingston.

Some time prior to 1865, W. B. Anglin purchased the saw mill which was situated at the corner of Bay and Wellington streets. In 1866 a partnership was formed with his brother Samuel who had been operating a saw mill at Battersea, and who brought his stock of logs and lumber to Kingston to meet the increasing demands of the business.

They carried on together for some years under the firm name of W. B. and S. Anglin. On the death of W. B. Anglin in 1887, Samuel continued the business in the same location, under the firm name of S. Anglin and Co. Later he was joined by two sons, Frank R. Anglin in 1895, and Charles S. in 1902. Another son, W. H. Anglin was connected with the business for a time but died early in life in 1909.

S. Anglin headed the firm until his death in 1920, after which the company was formed into a Limited Company and Frank R. became president, which position he occupied until his death in 1942. After the death of his brother, Charles S. Anglin became president and business manager of the firm.
