  • Notes 
    • M. S. Wilhelm

      One of the largest and best equipped blacksmith shops and carriage and wagon manufactory in the county is owned and operated by this gentleman. Mr. Wilhelm was born in Wilmot township in 1858. He was raised on a firm, but has worked at the trade he now follows the greater part of his life. He commenced here in 1881. His establishment is a large one, being 60 x33 feet in dimensions and two stories high. The blacksmith shop is one of the best equipped in this section. Mr. Wilhelm has a reputation of doing first class work, both in wood work, ironing vehicles and horse shoeing. He manufactures wagons, buggies, carriages and cutters and does painting, trimming and repairing. For a number of years Mr. Wilhelm has been connected with the Wellesley Agricultural Association, having been for two years its Vice President and two years its President. He is also a director of the Association. He owns valuable real estate in the village and is one of its citizens who strives to keep business moving. He has a good patronage.
