116viii Dora Harriet "Hattie"5 KING, born 8 May 1902 in Randolph, Ontario, Canada; died 20 Jan 1981 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada; buried in Pine Hill Cemetery, Scarborough, Ontario, Canada. She married on 6 Sep 1924 in Bonnar Prebyterian Church, Toronto, Ontario, Frederick Cromwell Bayliss, born 29 Sep 1896 in Wexford, Ontario; died 19 Jun 1952 in Trenton, Ontario.
[Hannah Dwinnell Family.GED from Fred Bayliss, July 2001] Dora Hattie (appears as Harriet on some documents but mother believed her name to be Hattie)King was born on a farm in Tiny Township on the 8th of May, 1902 (birth registeredas having been in Randolph, Ontario), the 7th of ten children born to SamuelKing and Hannah Dwinnell. The family moved to Agincourt in 1910, where Samuelhad purchased a hundred acre farm on what is now Midland Ave. a half milesouth of Finch Avenue. An account of the move by her elder brother, Albert,reported that the family rented two box cars for three days to move the householdand farm equipment. In addition, Samuel and Albert each drove a team of horsespulling wagon loads of their remaining possessions.
Dora left High School after Grade 10, staying home to help on the farm. (Doris reports that regardless of her mother's abbreviated formal schooling she, Doris, never required a calculator or a dictionary so long as her mother was living!)
Dora met Fred Bayliss - called by his middle name Cromwell (Crom) -while skating at the Agincourt Arena (Fred was working for the CPR in Agincourt at the time). She was convinced he enjoyed visiting their farm because there was always a crowd around - he was an only child. When Samuel gave the running of the farm to his oldest son, Albert, for five years so that he could get his start in life the remaining members of the family moved into Toronto. During this period, before her marriage, Dora worked for a time as a switchboard operator for the Bell Telephone Company. From her comments we gather it was not the most exciting period of her life! Dora and Crom were married on September 6, 1924, in Bonnar Presbyterian Church in the west end of Toronto.
Following their marriage they moved to Port Hope, and from there toTweed. In 1930, at the time of the Depression, Crom was "bumped" by a moresenior employee and they moved to live in the CPR station in Ivanhoe ( aboutten miles north of Belleville and seven miles south of Madoc) with theirthree children. In that station they had NO electricity, NO running water(an indoor cistern pump and an outdoor well pump), NO indoor plumbing andfor a time NO car. It had to have been very difficult with 3 small childrenand yet, as is often the case in such circumstances, we all remember happytimes.
In 1937 the family moved to Trenton where circumstances where much more pleasant and must have been much easier for Dora. Her family and her church were Dora's primary interests.. A measure of her committment to her church was the presentation to Dora of a Life Membership in the Women's Missionary Society of The United Church of Canada on September 25, 1952 having been nominatedby the Women's Missionary Society (WMS) of King St. United Church in TrentonOntario.
Dora and Crom's entertainment consisted of bridge games with friends and the occasional movie (where, according to mother, dad always fell asleep!). On occasion throughout the year, but especially around the Christmas season when we children were younger, friends would come in to sing around the piano while mother played.
When Crom died very suddenly in 1952, Dora, who was 50 at the time,moved to Toronto to be closer to her siblings. For a time she and her sister,Sarah shared a home which they purchased together on Lawrence Avenue in NorthToronto. For the first year Dora's son, Fred, and daughter, Ila, and Sarah'sdaughter Donna shared the home. Dora managed the home while the other fourwent out to work.
After the three young people had flown the coup in the Fall of 1953, the two sisters went their separate ways no longer requiring such spacious accommodation. About this time Dora re-learned the driving of a car, not having driven since her teen years on the farm and happily drove around the city for most of her remaining years. In 1954 Doris returned home and mother willingly assumed the care of two very young grandchildren. While Doris worked, mother provided a home for herself, and the three of them. This happy arrangement began on Douglas Avenue in Toronto, then moved up to Glendora Avenue in Willowdale where it continued until the grandchildren had grown up and gone their ways. Dora and Doris then moved to an apartment on Sheppard Avenue, East, still in Willowdale and lived together until Dora's death. At the age of sixty-five Dora discovered the joy of travelling abroad. She visited Korea (where son Fred and family were living), Expo in Japan, Hong Kong and Great Britain andEurope. Prior to this she had toured through much of Canada and several statesin the USA. Dora died in January 1981 of complications from Multiple Myeloma.At the time, Sumi Iwamoto, a friend of Doris for many years, stated thatshe had been a "valiant lady" - very true!!
