| 释义 |
He was born in Chesterfield, New Hampshire and came to Canada in 1854, working on construction contracts for the Grand Trunk Railway. With William Hespeler, he established the Granite Mills in 1857. Surplus grain from the mill was used to manufacture whiskey. Joseph E. Seagram joined the company in 1870 and, by 1883, had become sole owner of the business, which eventually became the Seagram's distillery.[1] In 1863, Randall purchased a sawmill in Hespeler and built a woollen mill there. In 1884, he established a wholesale grocery and liquor business in downtown Berlin (later Kitchener).[1] He married Caroline Roos and the couple had three children.[2] Randall was a director of the Waterloo Mutual Fire Insurance Company, and served 18 years as its president. He also served as first president of the Berlin-Waterloo Hospital Board and served on the first local Board of Health, formed in 1866.[2] The site of his former home became the office of the Mutual Life Insurance Company, now Sun Life.[3] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.waterloo.ca/en/contentresources/resources/government/early_mayors_george_randall.pdf |title=George Randall, 1832-1908 |work=Early Mayors |publisher=City of Waterloo |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130618155319/http://www.waterloo.ca/en/contentresources/resources/government/early_mayors_george_randall.pdf |archivedate=2013-06-18 |df= }} {{DEFAULTSORT:Randall, George}}{{Ontario-mayor-stub}}2. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.wpl.ca/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/randall_george.pdf |title=George Randall |publisher=Waterloo Public Library}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://images.ourontario.ca/waterloo/31542/data |title=George Randall House, Waterloo, Ontario |publisher=Waterloo Public Library}} 7 : 1832 births|1908 deaths|Mayors of Waterloo, Ontario|Businesspeople from Ontario|Drink distillers|19th-century Canadian businesspeople|Canadian food industry businesspeople |
