Notes:

House:
39 Doon Valley Drive is associated with three prominent citizens of Waterloo County. The first owner, the Honourable Adam Ferrie, was the founder of Doon Village. Samuel Snider, who purchased the property from Ferrie, owned the Blair Mill, as well as other mills that he and a partner operated in Bridgeport and Baden. Thomas Slee, one of the first trustees of the area, and the Doon Postmaster from 1867 to 1893, was the last significant owner of the property, purchasing it from Snider in 1878. In addition to its association with persons of historic significance, Doon Valley Drive (formerly Doon Village Road), was once an important linkage between the Village of Doon to Tow Town and Oregon (today Upper Doon).
39 Doon Valley Drive is unique in its use of building materials and the methods of construction. This one-and-a-half-storey house combined granite, limestone, fieldstone and lime mortar in its construction. It retains many original, intact features, such as the stone chimney with cove moulding, and the single door with a transom, on the north façade.<sup>1a

Notes:

Obituary - We regret to be called upon this week to announce the death of Mr. John Vipond, of Doon. The deceased gentleman was born at Dryburn, near Alston, Cumberland, England, on the 1st January, 1813. He was married in early life to Miss Robinson, of Renwick, who now mourns the loss of her aged partner. In 1852, he emigrated to Canada in company with his daughter and her husband. After residing in Wellesley township for a year he moved to Benton, Wisconsin, where he remained until 1864; when his health again compelled him to return to Canada, when he settled in Doon, where he remained until his death. For forty years Mr. Vipond had been a sufferer from asthma, a disease that caused other diseases, which terminated fatally on Saturday last. Deceased had for forty-six years been a consistent member of the Methodist Church, and during most of that time a local preacher and a class 1 leader. He was widely known and highly respected, as was attested by the large concourse of friends that followed his remains.to their last place on Monday afternoon.
