  • Notes 
    • We come to a log cabin, moved there, occupied by a negro, Levi Carroll [1804-1897], a one-legged ex-slave from the Southern States. He lived there for a number of years. This building had been erected in Waterloo in 1820 and was Waterloo's first school house. Carroll owned several acres between his dwelling and Agnes Street. His land, which he did not plough but cultivated with a long handled hoe only, was planted with corn from year to year and looked something like a plantation field in the south. Descendants of his lived in the log cabin after his death. Later, this building was moved to the Waterloo Park and in its place a concrete two-story building with a hip roof was erected by Dr. Schnarr, [771 King St. W., Kitchener, Waterloo Region, Ontario?] his house and surgery.
