The subject’s father was born in 1841, and followed milling, while the pater- nal grandfather, Alexander Simpson. was also born in Lot 22, this Island, and built the first mill on the site of the one now owned by the subject, which had been ope- rated by the Simpson family for over sev- enty years. The subject’s paternal grand- parents were James and Elizabeth (Bell) Clark.

J. Herbert Simpson received his elemen- tary education in the district schools and supplemented this by attendance in the Prince of Wales College, at Charlottetown. He was reared to the life of a farmer, which vocation he has followed ever since. He has one hundred and five acres of land, of which sixty are under the plow and producing abundant crops. In connec- tion with his farm Mr. Simpson also, as before stated, operates the old Simpson mill, which he has actively managed since I891, having greatly improved the equip- ment and commanding a large share of the public patronage. He is practical and methodical in his operations and untiring in his energy, in consequence of which he is meeting with a gratifying degree of success.

In 1895 Mr. Simpson was united in mar- riage to Miss Mary A. McCoubrey, a daugh- ter of R. Y. and Elizabeth (Younker) McCoubrey. This union has been blessed in the birth of the following children: Jere- miah, Dora, Richard, Rupert and Eva. In politics Mr. Simpson assumes an indepen- dent attitude, voting for thehman and meas- ure that most nearly meet his approbation.

In religion he is a Presbyterian, and his fra- ‘

temal membership is with the Stanley Bridge Lodge, No. 14, A. F. & A. M.
