One of the oldest inhabitants of Cornwall is Miss Barbara Miller, owner of the Miller Block, pictured on this page. Miss Miller is closely approaching the century mark, yet no one would have any idea of her great age, so sprightly is she and so willing to talk to her friends. She has lived in Cornwall all her life, and is a walking encyclopedia of its history.
      The handsome brick block which bears her name is one of the best in Cornwall. It is two stories high, on Pitt street, and is occupied by J. A. Sauriol, merchant tailor; E. H. Brown, druggist; R. M. Pitts & Co., stationery and fancy goods; and N. Phillips, clothier. On the second story, A. A. Smith, L. D. S., has dental parlors, and there are several fine residential apartments.

      Those who have occasion to travel by land or water will find the face and name of George F. Tackaberry quite familiar. Mr. Tackaberry was born in Cornwall and learned the telegraph business here. For the past 10 years he has been agent of the C.P.R. telegraph Co., and has had charge of the C.P.R. ticket business for nearly the same time. He is also agent for the Allan, C.P.R. and other ocean steamers, as well as for the Merchants Line, the American and Dominion Express Companies. His office is in the Rossmore Hotel.

      B. Leclair, proprietor of the East End meat market, is one of Cornwall's successful business men, doing a large trade, which is continually increasing. He was formerly of Montreal but came to Cornwall about 10 years ago, establishing a meat market at the corner of Marlborough and Water streets. Mr. Leclair is reputed to be the best cattle buyer in this section and this coupled with the close personal attention which he gives his affairs, is the secret of the enormous business he has worked up not only in the East End but all over town. He has a staff of about a dozen men employed the year round and keeps only the choicest meats.
