Wallis

(from Watford Guide-Advocate Sept. 28, 1983)

Orville Wallis (–1983), a long time resident of Warwick Twp., was born on the 7^th Con. of Brooke Twp., one of seven children of Mr. and Mrs. William Wallis.

Orville had an early interest in mechanics and became an apprentice mechanic in Watford. He soon opened his own garage at the corner of Main and Erie St. in 1933. The business expanded steadily and outgrew the building. Within a few years he built a spacious garage and showroom, Wallis Motors Ltd., at the corner of Main and Simcoe St.

Orville Wallis was a charter member of the Watford Rotary Club.
