He was born at Peterboro in March, 1853, where he attended the Public and High Schools. His parents were John and Dorothea Flavelle; Sir Joseph Flavelle, Baronet, of Toronto, is a brother, as also is Mr. J. D. Flavelle, of Lindsay, Chairman of the Board of Ontario License Commissioners. The subject of this sketch is one of the pioneers of the Cold Storage business in Canada. Over thirty years ago he recognized the necessity and value of the same as being of untold benefit to the country, by means of which dairy and other perishable products of the farm could be garnered in the seasons of their greatest production, and conserved for future use in the non-producing intervals. The growth of the enterprise has been of immense benefit to both producer and consumer, as now many commodities, which would not be otherwise available, may be freely purchased at any season in the year. The great advancement of the business from the first simple storage, when natural ice was used as the refrigerator, to the special brick structure standing prominently on Lindsay’s main street, equipped with every modern device and appliance, is the evidence of one man’s splendid vision, business acumen, and sagacity. A natural adjunct to the Lindsay Cold Storage Plant has been added in the way of a creamery, the first, and one of the finest of its kind in Canada. Here the cream is received from the farmers, tributary to the district, tested and manufactured into the finest creamery product, to the mutual advantage of the farmer and the country in general. In 1886 Mr. Flavelle married Mary Helen Aird, daughter of Robert Aird, of Montreal. Six children blessed the union, four sons and two daughters, viz.: Aird D., Stewart A., Gordon A., Guy A., Jena L. and Helen Grace. He is President of Flavelle, Limited, The Victoria Loan and Savings Company, The Lindsay Cemetery
