Biographical history
Elizabeth Gale was born c. 1801 in England. It is unknown when Gale immigrated to Canada. She settled in London, Ontario and worked as a milliner. In the 1883 City Directory, Gale’s residence and business are listed at 264 Dundas Street. Her business was categorized as millinery and fancy goods. On November 14, 1882, the county sheriff seized the inventory of stock of her business. Gale was accused of absconding debtors. On June 4, 1884, Elizabeth Gale did not appear at the Court of the County of Middlesex for her hearing. She was required to pay $248.57 plus $20.01 in taxes to John D. Ivey and Co. The inventory seized by the county sheriff was sold to pay this debt. In 1884, Gale is listed as a widow and a boarder with Alfrid Avery at 8 Horton Street.
