Christopher was named Christian by his parents. When he started school he spoke very little English. The teacher did not understand what he said when asked for his name, and recorded his given name as Christopher. He continued to use the name Christopher for the rest of his life but was commonly known as Chris.
Chris and Mary were married on 27 November 1879 in St. John's Anglican Church in the hamlet of Jefferson, which was in the Township of Whitchurch at the time.
