Note (shared):
Charles Albert Berczy was born in 1794 at Newark (Niagara-on-the-Lake) in Upper Canada. Berczy was appointed postmaster at Amherstburg, Upper Canada, in 1831. In 1835, because of his friendship with Thomas Allen Stayner, the Deputy Postmaster General, Berczy was appointed to the newly created position of Post Office Inspector. He was stationed at Toronto and responsible for all of the territory west of Kingston. In 1838, he was appointed Postmaster at Toronto.
Because of his political activity during the Rebellion of 1837-38 and later, and his management of the large Toronto Post Office, Berzcy became a man of considerable political and business influence in Toronto. In the 1840s, he became involved in numerous successful entrepreneurial undertakings. In 1853, a stock venture proved to be too ambitious and failed. At the same time, Berzcy’s influence began to wane and, for reasons unknown, he lost his postmastership status. He died a broken man on 9 June 1858.
