Ernie (100 Per) was born on Guelph Line in Burlington on July 7, 1937. His father worked for Westinghouse in Hamilton. In the early 1950’s they came to a summer home in Inverhuron, later buying a farm on the 2nd Con. of Bruce Township. Ernie took over this farm at a young age, later selling it and moving across the road to Lot G, Concession 2 where he lived for the rest of his life. John Taylor and he were the first two employees hired by Ontario Hydro to slash the bush in preparation for the power line running from Kincardine to Douglas Point. He continued to work for Ontario Hydro at the Bruce Nuclear Plant for over 30 years, first with Construction and later as Service Maintenance Superintendent. All the while he continued to farm. Ernie and Doris built a new house on the east corner of Lot G and Ernie continued his farming operation along with son, Bill, and grandson, Devon. He was Past Master of Tiverton Masonic Lodge, an elder of Knox Presbyterian Church in Tiverton and Bruce Township director on the Federation of Agriculture.
