Walter Atkin, a successful young farmer of Colchester South, County of Essex, represents a family which has been identified with Malden township of County Essex for the past seventy-six years. He was born in the Atkin settlement, Malden township, March 27, 1852, son of Gore and Hannah (Lypps) Atkin.
Gore Atkin was born in Brockville, Ont., Oct. 14, 1821, and for many years he was a local minister in the Methodist Church. He became a successful farmer, and is now living retired in Amherstburg, a quiet, honorable Christian gentleman. His wife, Hannah Lypps, was born in Colchester township, March 22, 1826. Their children were: Melvina, a trained nurse in Detroit; George, an engineer in Detroit; Adeline, wife of Frank Beach, of London, Ont., Anna, wife of Alex. McGee, of Malden township; Walter; Emma, wife of Lawrence Shipley, of Essex; Wellington, a farmer on the homestead; Gore E., on the home farm; Isabel and John, who both died in infancy; Robert, a farmer in Malden; and Miss Lucy, with her parents.
Walter Atkin enjoyed the advantages of the home school. When he grew to maturity he engaged in lumbering, working in heavy timber. About the time of his marriage he bought a fifty-acre farm in the 4th Concession of Malden, and there resided for some five years, when he sold the property and bought of William Woodbridge clergy reserve land consisting of eighty-three and three-fifths acres in Lots 68, 69 and 70, Colchester South. At the time of the purchase there were but fifteen or twenty acres fit for proper cultivation; twenty-five acres were in bush. He now has the entire farm in a high state of cultivation, and it is all thoroughly drained, he having spent $1,183.71 for tiles alone. Mr. Atkin carries on mixed farming, and in six years has cleared several thousand dollars on tobacco alone. In politics he is a Liberal, and in past years has taken considerable interest in party affairs. He is a member of the Workmen at Harrow, being a charter member of the lodge there, also of the Woodmen at Colchester. Both he and his family belong to the Harrow Methodist Church, and are very active in that body.
On Dec. 8, 1877, Mr. Atkin was united in marriage with Sarah Ann McCormick, and to this union have been born: Mabel, born Dec. 13, 1878, married Leonard Eede, of this township, and has two children, Byron and Ruby; Grove[sic], born April 17, 1879, has a farm of 100 acres in Malden; Grace, born Aug. 5, 1880, is at home; and Ellis, born Feb. 16, 1882, is at home.
