Dafnas
From George Katinas: “In a previous post I wrote about Peter Dafnas, one of the early Greeks of Kingston. According to Kingston’s City Directory of 1913-1914, Peter Dafnas was the owner of the New York Fruit store at 314 Princess Street. Peter Dafnas’ son Michael was killed in action in 1944 while fighting in Italy. He was 22 years old when he died.”
From George Katinas: “Peter Dafnas was the owner of the New York Fruit Store at 314 Princess St.. The earliest evidence I found about his store is from the Kingston’s City Directory 1913-1914. In August of 1920 he married an Irish Canadian woman named Annie McCann.”

Katinas
During the 1920s and 1930s in Kingston there were several ice cream and candy stores owned by Greek Canadians. My grandfather, Emmanuel Katinas, owned a candy store in Smiths Falls around the same time. In 1920 he opened a store named “Candy Kitchen” and operated it for the next 15 years.
