           AMOS PARENT, farmer, section 30, Lincoln Township, was born in
        Shefford Co., Province of Quebec, May 5, 1839.  His parents, TELES-
        PHORE and JULIA (FLUET) PARENT, were natives of Quebec, of French
        nationality.  The mother died in Canada.  The father came after-
        wards to Huron County and after a stay of two years returned to his
        former home, to transact some business, was taken ill and died
        there, May 8, 1880. Their family numbered nine children, namely:
        DORCAS (deceased), ABIGAIL, AMOS, DELPHINE, JOSEPH, HANNAH, JOHN
        D., ROBERT (deceased) and ELIZA.
           MR. PARENT is the oldest of the sons in the above family. When
        he was about seven years old they went to Vermont, returning three
        years later to Canada. When he was 20 years of age he began to
        learn the business of a carpenter and joiner, and he pursued that
        business, in connection with farming in his native province, until
        he removed to Huron County in the spring 1880. He had purchased 80
        acres of land in Lincoln Township in 1879, on which he has already
        cleared and improved 27 acres.
           In political connection and views MR. PARENT is in sympathy with
        the Prohibition party.
           His marriage to MARIETTA, adopted daughter of ROBERT and EMMA
        PHIPPEN, took place March 16, 1870, in Middlesex Co., Ont.  They

        MR. PARENT was born in London, Ont., Feb. 21, 1852.  MRS. PARENT is
        a member of the American Protestant Association.
