The Whiteside family lived on the north half of Lot 7, Concession 6. This 100 acre farm was purchased by Robinson Whiteside and his wife Mary (Hockridge) in January 1889. They moved there from the Alliston area. Together they farmed and raised three sons: William Robinson Whiteside (1891-1950), Thomas Elwood Whiteside (1893-1970) and Franklin Vernon Whiteside (1895-1975). All three men were bachelors. In September 1947 the family purchased the south half of Lot 7, as well. William and Frank did most of the farming as brother Tom, a self-taught draftsman and carpenter, built many houses and barns in the South Simcoe area. The brothers also operated a machine shop at the farm, repairing and fabricating equipment for the local farmers. They were usually behind with their farming operation because they always helped others first. In December 1959 James Bateman purchased the property when the brothers retired.
