• Name	Walter Bishop Mabee
  Birth	9 Nov 1805	Charlotteville, Walsingham Township, Norfolk County, Ontario, Canada   [1, 2]
  Gender	Male
  Anecdote	Jul 1808	Piper's Corners, Oxford County, Ontario, Canada   [3]
  	Piper's Corners: Joel Piper, a United Empire Loyalist from Massachusetts, came with Thomas Ingersoll's party of settlers to Oxford upon the Thames in 1793. He settled on lot 12, Conc 2, one mile south of the Old Stage Road on the east side of the North and South trail. The community which developed here was named after him. On Tremaine's map of 1857, there are Pipers on three of the four corners. The Mabee family occupied the southwest corner, Lot 13, Con 2, as they had ever since Simon Mabee, a fellow U.E.L. from Massachusetts, had arrived from Norfolk County, in the early 1800's. Mr. Simon Mabee played a vital role in the development of Piper's Corners. It was on the north east section of his property that the First Baptist Church in Oxford was established, and the Piper's School was built. Towards the south end of his farm, he constructed a dam and pond, and built a grist mill for the early farmers. The impressive stone house that he erected with the date 1808 inscribed above the doorway is still standing, and is now (late1970's) occupied by its present owners, Mr. and Mrs. Murray Budd. The Piper's Corners Baptist Church was the First Baptist church in Oxford County. In July 1808 Peter Teeple, Simon Mabee, Zachariah Burtch, Deborah Sales, Abigail Burtch and Elizabeth Scott met at the home of Peter Teeple to come under each other's watch-care. In 1809 they organized the Church. Meetings were held in the homes of the members. In Februry 1841, Elder Mabee offered 1 ½ acres on the northeast corner of his farm for a church and cemetery. It was located just south of the school with the cemetery at the rear of the church and school. This cemetery became neglected and a new owner of the farm allowed his cattle to pasture there. The markers, which were numerous, were broken and the farmer gathered them up and put them in the fence corner near the cemetery around 1890 to 1900. They remained there for some years, then these tombstones were made into a nice smooth marble walk from the house to the barn. Simon Mabee built the Grist mill to serve the settlers. This mill continued in operation for many years. Mr. Ernest Mabee a great-grandson told Miss Hattie Mabee of Ingersoll, about its operation. In 1834 the first log school was erected a mile south of Piper's Corners. The Second school was built in 1856 on land was obtained from Walter Bishop Mabee, the son of the pioneer Simon Mabee.
