Evidence: William Church Moir (2 May 1822 – 5 July 1896) was the son of Benjamin Moir and Mary Isabella Church, declared by many as one of the most energetic and enterprising businessmen in Halifax, Nova Scotia. His small bakery, by the time of his death in 1896 would employ over 260 workers, produce over 11,000 loafs of bread daily. In 1873 with his son, James Ward Moir they started Moir's Chocolate and made over 500 types of confectionery that was sold across Canada, which was unheard of at the time. Halifax, formally known as the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM), is the capital of the Canadian province of Nova Scotia.
