Frank M. Hagar, coal merchant, was born in Thorold Twp., in 1835. His father was the late Jonathan Hagar. His mother's maiden name was Jemima Carpenter. She belongs to the Carpenter family of Wentworth Co. Our subject received his primary education at the public school, and subsequently took a two years' course at Victoria University, Cobourg. Since his college days, Mr. Hagar has been actively engaged in different business enterprises, including farming, lumbering and dealing in coal and wood. At present he devotes his time principally to his coal business at Welland, in which he enjoys a large patronage. He has been a member of the Welland town council and once represented Thorold Township in the county council, having been elected reeve of that township in 1871 to fill the vacancy caused by the death of James Brooks. He has been twice married. The first Mrs. Hagar was a daughter of the late James Fell of Chippawa. She died leaving two daughters, Maud and Maggie. Mr. Hagar's present wife was a daughter of the late George Brooks of the village of St. Johns. Mr. Hagar is a member of the Methodist church. His residence and grounds at the corner of North Main and Merritt streets are among the handsomest of the town.
(His grandparents were Jonathan Hagar and Azubia Hopkins, Silas Sayers Hagar would be his uncle)
SILAS SAYERS HAGAR, Esq., was born in Thorold Township in 1811. His parents were Jonathan and Azubia (Hopkins) Hagar. The father was a native of New Jersey; he died aout the year 1815. Our subject's maternal grandfather came to Canada immediately after the close of the American revolutionary war as a Loyalist, and settled near where the city of Hamilton is now situated. He was the father of thirteen children, one of whom, named Caleb, was for a number of years a member of the early parliament of Canada. Mr. S.S. Hagar, after engaging in various employments, entered the lumber trade and in 1845 built a saw mill in Wainfleet Township. His life has been an active one. Besides giving a great deal of attention to the enterprises in which he has been engaged, he has occupied a number of important public positions. Under the old regime he was for a long time local superintendent of schools for Wainfleet. He was also clerk of the division court for the same place. He has for about thirty years been a justice of the peace. In October, 1839, he married Jane Eliza, a daughter of Charles KINSEY FELL and Margaret WILKINS, and granddaughter of Zenas Fell, and great-granddaughter of Titus Fell who was a son of Joseph Fell who left England with his family in 1704, settling eventually in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, where Mrs. Hagar's father was born. Our subject has two daughters living: Harriett, the wife of C.C. Millard, now living in East Saginaw, Michigan, and Maggie, the wife of E.A.C. Pew, of Welland. Mr. Hagar has long been identified with the temperance work, and is a Methodist in religion.
