Percy was educated at McGill University graduating in 1909 with a degree in Mining and Metallurgy. He spent the first 10 years working in engineering and design for Clare Bros. Ltd. in Preston, in which he father had an interest. In 1914 in partnership with Reg Sears he purchased Salyerds Manufacturing Co. makers of hockey sticks and brushes. He sold out to Irving Bernhardt in 1919 and purchased the Preston Furniture Company from Frank Moss. The company then bought Baird Furniture and Sawmill in Plattsville where in 1931 he established the Canada Sand Papers Company. He acquired a number of other businesses (listed in the original article). He was involved in things such as Waterloo County Health Assocation, Preston Rotary Club, Preston Planning Board, University of Waterloo, Stratford Festival Theatre and Scouting.

______________________________


A Gem in the Heart of Cambridge

The passion Elinor and John Hueton have for Dumfries Conservation Area is evident with every footfall as they walk through this hidden gem in the centre of Cambridge. They know this land intimately. Elinor was born in Cambridge (Preston) in a home on the banks of the Grand River in 1931. Many of her early memories relate to the river playing hockey on it, visiting the islands in its centre and climbing a big "Christopher Robin" tree to look out and see the Doon Pinnacle in the distance before the tower was constructed. John became an environmentalist during his teens in Cape Town, South Africa. Although they spent most of their lives away, they moved back to Puslinch in 1990. "My father was an environmentalist long before his time. He bought the first farm in 1916 and others up to 1967. He wanted to preserve some untouched green space in the heart of the city in which people could relax and enjoy nature," Elinor said. He donated the land for a park to the province, which later turned it over to the GRCA to develop and mannage.

They formed the Friends of Dumfries Conservation Area, an organization made up of neighbours and people interested in the park, who have been concerned about development around the park. The group has done their best to promote and protect the piece of wilderness in the heart of the city. In 1998 Elinor received a Grand River Conservation Watershed Award and her father received a posthumous Honour Roll award in 1976, the first year this award was given out by the GRCA. Dumfries has many other supporters including the three Rotary Clubs of Cambridge and nearby Babcock and Wilcox. "We're continuing a legacy started by my father, Percy Hilborn, who donated 75 hectares of land 43 years ago so it could be kept unspoiled as a quiet park in perpetuity. His ideas were reinforced by my late sister Helen Bridle, who was also a steward of the property," Elinor said. What they love most is to walk through with a first-time visitor. They revel in the delighted exclamations at some of the biggest trees in Waterloo Region, the old growth forest, the plantation forests planted by Elinor's father, a babbling creek, five wetlands and the Hilborn Arboretum. The terrain is varied which makes it full of surprises. The Huetons estimate 150,000 visits are made to Dumfries each year, but still many residents have never stepped inside the vast interior. Dumfries is what the GRCA calls a passive recreation area, since it is not used for camping or swimming and it is free to visitors. John recalls a teacher who brought his class to a forested area and then asked the students to be quiet for five minutes. Their comments were, "but it is so silent." "At the centre of the woods surrounded by busy roads and shopping centres, you can find a perfect silence but for the sigh of the wind and the trees above," John said. The Hilborn Arboretum In 1984, the Hilborn Arboretum was developed on two hectares at the corner of Dunbar Road and Hespeler Road by the Preston, Hespeler, and Galt Horticultural Societies. The Arboretum was a provincial centennial year project. Nearly 1,000 trees and shrubs were planted, including approximately 75 tree species.

Survived by her daughters Sally (Peter), Linda (Ron) and Suan (Josh). She was Gonny to Jamie, Lissa, Danny, Jonathan, Gillian, Melanie, Patricia and Kimberley and great grandmother to McKayla, Kali, Averie, Charlie, Grace and Evan. Special thanks to Judith Caffrey, a caring friend and companion. Mom was an avid sportswoman - a Life Member of Beaconsfield Golf Club where she was a championship golfer as well as giving her time as Ladies Captain, Lady President and Team Chairman for the Quebec Division of the CLGA. She loved the competition but was the first to encourage younger golfers to beat her. She curled competitively at the city and provincial levels. A late-blooming Grandma Moses, she finished her last watercolour just days before she died. It was her wicked sense of humour and survival that saw her through life's tough times. She was most fond of laughing at herself and taught us to not take ourselves too seriously. The twinkle in her eye will be missed by a large group of people of all ages as will the stories of her latest antics.
