The TALES you probably never heard about

A.M. MOSLEY BUYS SPLENDID FONTHILL HOME

Welland Man Buys the Beautiful Tanner Home in Fonthill

[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 3 May 1921]

“Fairmount,” the beautiful country home and estate of Mrs. K.E. Tanner, numbered as one of the few country places in the county was sold last week to A.M. Mosley, manager of the Page-Hersey Co., of Welland. A strip of some 900 by 120 feet along the Canboro Road, and some 400 feet by the same depth on the connecting road north, was not included in the purchase. The sale was made by G.W. Stalker of the Fonthill Reality Co., shortly following the printing of the advertisement as published exclusively in the Tribune and Telegraph.

By this purchase, Mr. Mosley comes into possession of a handsome home and fruit farm admirably located and among the well-reputed orchards included is that of the celebrated sweet cherry orchard, probably the largest in the Province and known to hundreds of regular patrons. Mr. Mosley and family will take possession during the present month and is to be congratulated upon acquiring this excellent property. Mrs. Tanner will soon move to her recently purchased Rounds Farm; one of the picture spots of Fonthill.

The sale of “Fairmount” to Mr. Mosley is one of the most important real estate transactions that has taken place here in years, and Mr. Stalker is to be congratulated in having brought the purchaser and property together.
