Diver at Sarnia, Out. At the age of 17 he began working in a small saw mill and lumber yard in Greenwich, Ohio. In 1895 he secured a position with the Cleveland Saw Mill & Lumber Company, at Cleveland, Ohio, as bookkeeper, which position he held until 1898, at which time he moved to Marquette, Mich., as manager of the Dead River Lum- ber company, a branch of the Cleveland Saw Mill & Lumber Com- pany. He remained at Marquette until 1901, when the Dead River interest was disposed of. He then went to Sarnia, Ont., as assist- ant manager of the Cleveland Sarnia Saw Mills Company, Limited, and since that time has been of great help to Mr. Diver in build- ing up the fine trade which the Cleveland Sarnia Company enjoys at this time. Mr. Barre married in June 1892 Miss Cora H. Healey, of Greenwich, Ohio. They have one daughter. Like other men of large business capacity Mr. Diver finds time to give his attention to things outside of his business. Since com- ing to Sarnia he has* taken a particularly active interest in promot- ing the welfare of the town. He held the position of president of the Board of Trade for three years, and is now First Deputy Reeve, to which position he was elected by acclamation. "He can have any office in this town that he cares to fill," was the way a lead- ing Sarnia man expressed his appreciation of this lumber magnate. Mr. Diver is also particularly fond of his home which is one of the finest in a town noted from one end of Canada to the other for its attractive residences. His beautiful lawns, flower gardens, and green houses are the envy of every big city man who visits them, and Mr. Diver always takes particular pleasure in showing them to his many visitors from Canada and the United States.
