McLaughlin 1869-1942 Edward Mack Soanes (Showing 6 years of Scout Leader Service and Military Hospital Attendant/Stretcher Bearer award-crest). George William McLaughlin, born 17 Feb 1869, and the older brother of Robert Samuel (born September 8, 1871) and the Vice President and Sales Manager of the 1907 McLaughlin Motor Works, Oshawa the forerunner of General Motors; (when his younger brother Robert was President and later of the 1919 General Motors Canada) until George retired in 1924 to return to his family’s farm. George McLaughlin donated the Athol Street Scout Hall building in 1942 and a Cabin Camp for the 7th Oshawa Scout Troop. This 7th Oshawa cabin was built on the Nesbit farm, on the east side of Ritson Road. The George McLaughlin farm was one concession south at 261Simoce St, Oshawa. George William McLaughlin died on 10 October 1942 and is interred in the Oshawa Union Cemetery so he never saw his 7th Oshawa Scout Camp Donation completed in 1943. Samuel Edward Mack Soanes was born on June 15, 1892 in Lindsay, Ontario. The 1St Oshawa Scout Group was founded in 1909 just two years after the birth of the Scouting movement in England by Lt. General Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell. Mack Soanes was the Secretary and later Treasurer of the Oshawa YMCA and the first Scoutmaster of this 1st Oshawa Scout Group. George McLaughlin was also the Secretary and Treasurer of the McLaughlin Motor Works and the Assistant Scoutmaster of this 1909 Scout Group (actually George McLaughlin would have been the Scoutmaster and Mack Soanes the Assistant because Mack was only 17 years old in 1909).In later years, in the 1920’s Mack Soanes was the Post Master of the Indian River Post Office.

  • Mclaughlin-Buick 1908 ~ 1942 Motoring Memories: Mclaughlin-Buick Story and Photo by Bill Vance
    McLaughlin-Buick 1908 ~ 1942 Motoring Memories: McLaughlin-Buick Story and photo by Bill Vance When Robert McLaughlin started a one-man construction operation in his shed near Oshawa, Ontario in 1867, he couldn‘t have dreamed that he was planting the seeds of General Motors Corporation of Canada. The business expanded into wagons and carriages, built a reputation for quality, and eventually became the British Empire‘s largest carriage maker. Robert was joined in the enterprise by his teenage sons George and Samuel. Although Robert wasn‘t enthusiastic about the automobile business when cars came on the scene, he didn‘t stand in the way of his son Samuel, who was. After trying to have their own car designed, which failed when their engineer became ill, Sam reviewed several makes of cars. He struck a deal with William Durant of Flint, Michigan, America‘s largest carriage maker, whom Sam knew through that business. Durant held controlling interest in the Buick Motor Company of Flint, and McLaughlin signed a 15-year contract to purchase Buick running gear. With McLaughlin‘s expertise in building bodies, Sam knew he was in the car business. Shortly after signing the contract with McLaughlin, Durant formed the General Motors Co. in 1908 with Buick as its first building block. McLaughlin and Durant maintained a long, friendly relationship, resulting in not only the McLaughlin-Buick, but also in McLaughlin building Chevrolets beginning in 1916. The McLaughlin Motor Car Co. became General Motors of Canada in 1918. Production started late in 1907, with McLaughlin fitting the bodies to Buick running gear.

  • A Timeline of Innovation in Durham Region Here in Durham Region, We’Re Not Just Innovating; We’Re Innovating to Solve Big Problems
    A Timeline of Innovation in Durham Region Here in Durham Region, we’re not just innovating; we’re innovating to solve big problems. We’re focused on solving some of the world’s biggest challenges, and building a robust innovation ecosystem that translates research and development assets into jobs and investment. The world needs products, services and business models that will create value in new ways, while reducing social and environmental impacts. This change won’t be driven by a few heroic entrepreneurs or innovative geniuses, nor will it be driven solely by investors. It will take all of these players, and more, working together. Durham Region’s foundation of solving important challenges began with early settlement, as immigrants founded local businesses that would grow to be some of the largest and most successful. Since 1864, when Robert McLaughlin started his journey to transform human mobility, businesses in Durham have committed to improve lives—not just for local residents—but also for the world. Today, by supporting innovators in everything from artificial intelligence to electric and autonomous mobility, and from clean tech to agri-tech, life sciences, health, and creative industries, our business ecosystem is evolving so that Durham’s innovators continue to lead global solutions. We’re confident our innovation community will continue to change the world. A Timeline of Innovation in Durham Region 3 1864 McLaughlin Carriage Co. Colonel Robert Samuel McLaughlin settles in Darlington Township (now known as Clarington), and launches a business manufacturing horse-drawn sleighs and carriages. By the turn of the century, his Oshawa facility is one of the largest carriage factories in the world.

  • Mclaughlin Canadian Auto Town
    Producing Memory: Public History and Resistance in a Canadian Auto Town 1 Christine McLaughlin, York University In a city forged by the automobile industry, public history and memory have been deeply shaped by the forces of automobile production. Homages to R.S. McLaughlin, who is widely celebrated as founding General Motors of Canada in Oshawa, Ontario, have powerfully informed public memory in the city. Yet Oshawa is also the site of a storied labour history that also deeply informs public memory, albeit largely through the medium of working-class oral histories. This paper explores public history creation in the industrial city of Oshawa, Ontario. This has been a highly political process. Public memory in Oshawa has been significantly shaped by the forces of power, money and privilege, while challenges to this status quo have been largely eliminated from the city’s streetscapes. However, these moments of challenge and resistance offer an important legacy for future generations and ought to be preserved. Oral history provides one of the most important means of collecting, preserving and analyzing these challenges to the ‘official’ narrative. By contrasting the creation of an official narrative, sanctioned by those with power, with the counter narrative, created through working-class oral history, we can see the value of interviews in rendering history a contested class process. Resistance is a paramount theme in working-class history in Oshawa; many oral narratives stress events where working people empowered themselves by direct action, and through challenges to corporate, government and legal authority. Oshawa, like so many industrial causalities in this so-called era of post- industrialism, is undergoing a fundamental break with its past.

  • MAJOR WILLIAM FLETCHER EATON Was Born 12 May 1875 in Toronto and Died at His Ballymena Estate, in Oakville on June 18Th 1935
    MAJOR WILLIAM FLETCHER EATON was born 12 May 1875 in Toronto and died at his Ballymena estate, in Oakville on June 18th 1935. In 1903, the T. Eaton Company of Toronto received a bonus from the Town of Oshawa to construct a White's Good (textile) Factory, on the southeast corner of Athol and Charles Street. This T. Eaton Company manufactured textiles, such as underclothes, corsets, and petticoats, which were sold at Eaton's stores in Toronto and Winnipeg. This knitting manufacturing company soon employed 150 workers, most of whom were women. Mr. William Fletcher Eaton, third son of Timothy Eaton (who was born in March of 1834 and who died of pneumonia on 31st January 1907), began his business career with the T. Eaton Co. at Toronto, and after a stint farming in Manitoba relocated to this Eaton Oshawa factory as General Manager when it opened in August of 1903. W.E. Eaton remained with this Oshawa factory until it was closed in the autumn of 1915 as General Manager of this knitting business and remained manager until 1916, when he moved this business to Hamilton from Oshawa due to the difficulty of securing sufficient female help. The T. Eaton Company- William Fletcher Eaton was Manager of this Knitting Plant – William Eaton was the brother of Eaton's President Sir John Eaton. (Who took over from their father Timothy who died 31 January 1907).William F. Eaton was an active member of Oshawa's YMCA and a proud Masonic member when he lived in Oshawa from 1903 until 1916.

Tools McLAUGHLIN - HISTORY McLaughlin>Phillips or Werry>Turner>Paul Turner [See note at bottom of this page regarding these arms & the history of the McLaughlin name and variations] The McLaughlin family may have been originally from Ireland and then they may have been forced to flee to Scotland. It is possible that the family emigrated from Scotland and settled in co. Cavan, Ireland during the Elizabethan Plantation period (early 1600s) or after the 1641 Rebellion. Various spellings of the name are McLaughlin, McGlohlin and McGlaughlin. Whether they came as Presbyterians is unclear. The earliest McLaughlin found is Thomas McLaughlin born about 1745 who married Mary Stafford c.1770. They were found in co. Cavan, Ireland. Early parish records were obtained at Coroneary Presbyterian Church (at Cootehill), Knockbride Parish, co. Cavan, Ireland. During my research I have found that there were different McLaughlin families that started out in Ontario, Canada: those from Ireland who were Roman Catholic; others who were Wesleyan Methodist and Church of England ( and a few other faiths) and the Irish Presbyterian McLaughlins. As far as I know, the McLaughlin family of this web site emigrated from Co. Cavan, Ireland, were Presbyterian and settled first in Ontario, Canada in 1832 I would like to thank Gary McLaughlin for obtaining the Ireland material and Blair Barbeau, Mike Leslie and Sylvia who have provided a wealth of information on the family. Their e-mail addresses can be found on the 'McL-Contacts' page. In addition to the above, many dates, dossiers and the McLaughlin grave pictures of Enniskillen and of Oshawa Union Cemetery have been provided by M.A.
