Geocache Description:


ART LATCHAM
Magician Extradordinaire
1895 - 1979

Art was born in Glasgow, a few miles west of Stouffville in Uxbridge Township. His first jobs were working for neighbouring farmers, then homesteading in Saskatchewan while he was still a teenager. The isolation there was such that he was able to spend long hours practising his conjuring skills. After fighting in France for 4 years in WWI he briefly became a motorman in Toronto.

Then he became well-known throughout North America as a magician. He preferred entertaining small groups with his card and coin tricks rather than performing on stage for large audiences although he had done both. He left his large magic book collection to Stouffville Library.

His fortune however, was made in real estate and he is best known today as a town benefactor, having provided funds to benefit the arena, library and art gallery in Stouffville, the curling club in Unionville, the theatre in Lindsay, and comunity centres in Goodwood, Port Perry, Zephyr, Markham, Altona, Atha, Mount Zion and Cedar Grove.

Mount Zion Community Centre on Salem Road was formerly a " little red schoolhouse' built in 1875 and became the community centre when it was closed - 1967.
