Cawker (1843 - 1938) Samuel T. Cawker came to Canada as a young boy, old enough to remember a stormy nine week Atlantic crossing marred by burials at sea. Originally from Devon, England, the family settled at Bowmanville where young Sam learned his father's trade and became a butcher. Having attained his maturity, he sought a business outlet of his own by mov- ing to Port Perry in 1868. The area around the intersection of Queen and Simcoe Streets, then called Borelia Corners was a thriving centre and he opened a butcher Subsequent years saw the business fade and the family move for short periods to Oshawa and Bowmanville. On returning to Port Perry, the business was opened in a market stall in the present business section. John and Ayimer Cawker, two of his sons, took over the business in 1916 opening a store in the present location under the name of Cawker Bros. in 1946, Albert Cawker, Ayimer's eldest son, purchased John's interest in the business until his death in 1959. Albert Cawker, the present owner, expanded the store by adding groceries and taking over the store to the east of the butcher shop resulting in the present Cawker's Food Market In Centennial year in Port Perry, it is a matter of no small pride to have main tained the family name in a business in the community since 1868 > > > i <u" SASS Conservatory of Music.
