Notes:

THE OLD PERRIN HOMESTEAD.

While in this neighborhood it was my pleasure to once more enter the portals of this old and familiar home- stead. Many a time I had enjoyed its hospitality nearly forty years ago, when its founders were yet in the prime of life. But on this occasion I found that they had years ago been called from the earthly home which they had made, possibly through years of incessant toil. The genial and devoted father of this venerable homestead, William Perrin, was well and popularly known throughout a wide section. He was born in Saffron Walden, Essex County, England, June 9.b, 1813. At the age of twenty-one years he came to Canada, settling at Hamilton, in 1834. As a royalist he took part in some of the conflicts incident to the rebellion of 1837-38, and won distinction for bravery as an artilleryist. He was an eye witness of the McKenzie fight and burning of the craft Caroline, and many other thrilling events connected with the difficulty of that time. In 1835 he was married to Miss Mary Ann Newstead. They had seven children, John and Joseph are the only members of the family now living in this neighborhood. The father died May 9th, 1889, aged 75 years and 11 months. The mother followed him on Sept. 30, 1895, aged 78 years, 3 monthe and 27 days.

Joseph, one of the sons, occupies the old homestead. He was born here May 6, 1849, and was married to Miss Mary Willetts, Dec. 29, 1873. She was born May 9, 1849. They have been blessed with eight children, all of whom are living, and all but two have reached the age of responsibility and are doing well. The old stone house is still a fresh reminder of days long since gone by, and, save considerable rebuilding of the barn, the place has much the same appearance it had in the days of yore, and Joseph, though apparently not as young as he used to be, is still the very image of good nature and contentment. While there I noticed some very fine swine and other stock. The constant clearing op of the woodland for so many years has rendered the view from here of rural landscape scenery the most extensive and beautiful I have yet beheld in all my travelling experience. As far as the eye can see are magnificently improved farms and cozy hamlet.

Within easy sight of the village is the splendid two hundred-acre farm of Mr. John Perrin, who has proved to be one of the most practical and successful farmers in North Dumfries Look where you will over his large estate and you will see evidence of a model farm. There is not a dilapidated panel of fence or an unsightly building on the place. The barn is one of the largest and highest in the county, and is equipped with all the latest mechanical appliances for unloading hay, grain, etc. in the quickest possible time. A commodious shed about two hundred feet long, extends from the barn to the house. In this building are the pig sties, and wherein during the winter are stored the implements, wagons, buggies, etc. Along its entire length is a substantial board sidewalk and over which the roof projects, thus enabling any member of the family or employee to reach the barn or house during inclement weather without getting wet or muddy shoes. The house is a splendid structure of cut stone, the interior being conveniently laid out with large airy rooms, and all of elegant hard wood finish. This property was originally purchased for $2,000, is now valued at $13,000. In the stables I noticed a large herd of choice export steers ready for shipment, and a Lumber of exceedingly fine swine. Mr. Perrin also produces thousands of bushels of grain annually. That he has been eminently successful so far in life there is proof in the fact of his having accumulated this valuable piece of property through his own management and energy.

Waterloo County Chronicle 31 Mar 1898, p. 8

Residence:
This one and a half storey fieldstone house is classified as a typical Scottish stone cottage, with the front facade containing the most significant features. These features include: the inside front door, the decorative structure around the outside of the door, the verandah (including its ceiling and underside frame), and the porch posts. These features are designated by the North Dumfries L.A.C.A.C. committee. The rear of the house is part of an addition that was added on in the 1970's. The committee believes the stone path leading to the house dates from 1874.
This house was part of the Perrin family for over one hundred years, although not consecutively. Joseph Perrin built this house in 1874 after William Perrin, his father, retired and moved into a home in Roseville. The original house that William Perrin built on this lot was torn down.

Joseph married Elizabeth Willits 29 Dec 1873, Wroxeter, Huron Co., Ontario, Canada. Elizabeth was born 9 May 1849, Troy, Beverly Twp., Wentworth County, Ontario, Canada; died 1 Dec 1936, Kitchener, Waterloo Region, Ontario, Canada; was buried , Woodland Cem., Kitchener, Waterloo Region, Ontario, Canada.
