  • Notes 
    • Mr. W. R. Wilkinson is a native of Waterloo County. He received his early education at Hawkesville and Winterbourne and later attended the Berlin High School and Model School, the Galt Collegiate Institute and the Toronto Normal School. He also attended an art course in Toronto and a course in a School of Elocution at Ann Arbor, Mich. After having taught school eight years in various parts of the county, he took the prescribed courses of the Toronto and Philadelphia Schools of Dentistry and secured a diploma in each. He spent some time in the offices of a Berlin and a Toronto dentist. He is now engaged in the practice of dentistry at Berlin and comes to Elmira every Monday. He has his office in Yost's block, where he has been a tenant for ten years, the first three of which he was permanently located here. He is much attached to Elmira and her people and takes a lively interest in everything pertaining to the welfare of the village.
