• Note*: 1847; Norwood, Peterborough Co., Ontario; "Seizing an opportunity, P.M. soon entered into a business partnership with another like-minded businessman by the name of James Foley.
  The Foley name is synonymous with Norwood as James opened the first store in the village in the 1837. The Grover-Foley firm focused on general dry goods and lumber and stores of this nature were opened in Peterborough, Keene, and Norwood.
  With his new connection to the growing settlement that would become Norwood, P.M. was introduced to Harriet Maria Keeler, whom he would marry in 1846. Harriet was the daughter of Joseph Abbott Keeler, the founder of Keeler's Mills.
  The following year, in 1847, would see the Grover-Foley-Keeler interests become a true family firm after James Foley married P. M.'s sister Almira, who had by this time moved to Peterborough to help her brother run the stores. Realizing much of his business and family interests were now in Norwood, P.M. and his wife made the move to Norwood in 1852 and immediately initiated the construction of a new home that would become known as Balsam Farm." from article in The Community Press, by Jeff Dornan, Norwood News, June 11 2020, pg. 41.
