Notes:

Jacob Roos, an Alsatian, worked at his trade of Cooper in a shop John Erb operated in connection with his grist mill at Preston from the early thirties until 1845 when he came to New Hope and opened a cooper shop at the extreme west end of the Hamlet, on the south side of the front road to Galt, in a building which many will remember as the "Log Cabin".

Here Mr. Roos made both types of barrels, the flour barrels for some of the mills around, and tight barrels for some of the numerous distilleries then to be found hereabouts.

Richard Gowling worked for him making loose barrels from 1866 till 1887 and his son, Nelson, worked with him in 1866 and 1867 and another son, Richard Gowling Jr., in 1867.

Mr. Roos taught the coopering to Conrad Sachs, whose brother, John, was married to a daughter of Mr. Roos. My first record of Conrad is July 19th, 1854, the last, 1862, when he appears to have gone to Buffalo where some of his descendents still reside. As my record comes from Hespeler's books it looks as if Conrad first learned the trade with Mr. Roos and then went to work in Hespeler's Cooperage.

Mr. Roos Sr. taught both trades to his son, Jacob Roos, who appears to have taken over the shop about 1871 and he continued to operate it until he died in 1907.

He made chiefly flour barrels which he delivered with a one-horse waggon fitted with a rack which held 65 barrels. Old timers will remember seeing these loads of barrels passing along Queen Street on the way to Kribs' Mill.

Another son, Edward Roos, learned Coopering with his father and apparently upon completion of his apprenticeship which must have included the tight barrel making he went in 1871 (when young Jake took over the shop) to work for Mr. Hespeler where he remained till 1876. Mr. Ed. Sachs, born 1868, nephew of Edward Roos, told me his Uncle Ed. was in charge of the shop for Hespeler.

Mr. Hespeler's Cooper Shop was in the stone building, which with additions made subsequently, is now The Hydro-Electric Power Station.
