Kansky, J.W. “Joe”
Joe Kansky came to Princeton at some point before July 1911. He was a carpenter and builder – he built the “henpen” for the Westwood & Brooke Poultry Farm (1911), a store in East Princeton (1911), the Anglican Church on Billiter Avenue (1911), a residence on Halliford Avenue (1912) and a carpentry shop on his property on Halliford (at the corner of Halliford Avenue and Bridge Street). He also “put the finishing touches” on Thomas C. King’s residence on Vermilion Avenue (1912).
He advertised his business – “J.W. Kansky – Carpenter ad Builder, Jobber and Shop Work” in the Similkameen Star from January 1913 through to May 1913.
He was married, and followed the Roman Catholic faith.
Kansky became a naturalized citizen on April 25, 1913.
