ERNEST EDWARD PERLEY.
A successful farmer and business man is Ernest Edward Perley, who
resides in Wolseley. He is a descendant of an old and honored family
and his parents were Senator William Dill1 Perley and Phoebe Augusta
{Slipp) Perley. He was born in Mangerville, New Brunswick, in 1877,
and was six years of age at the time his parents, Senator Perley and his
wife, came west in 1883 and located at Wolseley.
In the pursuit of his education Ernest Edward Perley attended the
schools of Wolseley, and later matriculated in Wesley College of
Winnipeg. Since leaving college he has devoted the greater part of his
time and attention to farming in the vicinity of Wolseley, and he now
owns and operates the largest farm in this section of the province. His
lands comprise eight sections and since 1910 he has harvested as much
as sixty thousand bushels of wheat every year. Mr. Perley also built
and owns the Perley Farm Elevator at Wolseley and is owner of the
Perley block in this town. He has applied the most scientific methods to
farming and has won widespread recognition of his success as an agri-
culturist. He is first and foremost a business farmer and one of the ablest
representatives of his class in Saskatchewan.
In 1902, in Winnipeg, Mr. Perley was married to Miss Orythia Louise
Clint, a daughter of Dr. G. I. Clint, a prominent member of the medical
profession in that city. To Mr. and Mrs. Perley four children have been
born: Ernest Clint, Phoebe Margaret, Nora Ivy and Ruth Orythia. Mrs.
Perley maintains an active interest in the club and social affairs of this
town. For two years Mr. Perley was a member of the rural council and
he was connected with and was president of the Agricultural Society. He
has been a dominant factor in the promotion of many movements for
the benefit of the district at large, and he was a member of the town
Council and manager for the years 1921 and 1922. He is Conservative in
politics and was a candidate for the Federal House in 1921, for the con-
stituency of Qu'Appelle. The success Mr. Perley has achieved is the
result of his own intelligently directed efforts and he well merits the con-
fidence and esteem accorded him.
