Historic Building:
This rambling old house has great historical interest, being of an early date (1844) and the birthplace of one of Canada's foremost landscape painters, Homer Watson. The Watson family business was a woollen mill, later taken over by Peddlar and cole and susequently destroyed by fire. The building is a long low structure, consisting of sections of varied height. There is a bay window in the angle of two sections facing Tilt Drive, and a trellised porch between wings on the Doon Village Road side. The apple trees, large maples and out buildings of its prominent corner setting contribute greatly to the rural character of the Village.<sup>1a

_____________________

The first meeting to examine teachers in this county was held at Freeport in December, 1843. The commissioners present were Dr. Fulsom, James Phin, William Tilt, Jacob Lutz and a Church of England clergyman from Guelph who presided. The candidates for certificates were Amos Adams, Benjamin Burkholder, Nelson Newcombe, Elias Eby and one Lazarus who was then teaching in Berlin. Mr. Lazarus, after glancing around the room and making an estimate of the calibre of the Board, walked out remarking quite audibly that he was not going to be examined by a "set of farmers." The other four received their certificates, the first issued in the county, but Mr. Lazarus received none and had to resign his position in Berlin. For subsequent examinations teachers were obliged to go to Guelph, the then county town of the united counties of Wellington, Waterloo and Grey.

....The most prominent teachers of those early days were Benjamin Eby (Bishop), James Deary or Derry, William Tilt, James Dickson, James Milroy, William Veitch, Noah Bechtel, William Telfer, Isaac Z. Hunsicker, Jonathan Good and John Bowman (father of the late I. E. Bowman, M. P.). ....

There was not a getter known man in the township than the deceased, and he won the respect and admiration of all who came in contact with him, by his ? way and quiet, unassuming manner. By his family he was beloved; they clung to him, sought his counsels, and courted his approval to the last. Mr. Tilt was born in the town of Carpel, Surrey Co., England, on June 26, 1805. In 1832 he came to Canada. Before coming he taught school for some years in his native place. On his coming here he was engaged by Mr. Van Egmond, a Canada Land Co. agent, to accompany him to Huron Co., where he remained for three years, teaching Mr. Van Egmond's children and helping to lay out and survey the Huron road. - Leaving there in 1835 he came to Blair, where he taught for several years in a frame school that stood on the site of his late residence. Afterwards he was variously occupied til 1861 in running a tannery and in mercantile pursuits. In that year he was appointed clerk of the township of Waterloo, and held that post continuously till the 31st of March, 1883, when he resigned just four days before his death. The council, on accepting his resignation, donated him $500. He was twice married and his second wife survives him. He was the father of seventeen children, thirteen of whom are still living. At present there are fifty six of his grandchildren and fifteen of his great-grandchildren living.
