History
Percy Edward Culverhouse, born in Guelph on August 6, 1892, was the son of Dr. Edward Culverhouse (1854-1942) and Sarah Frances Fraser (1858-1922). He was a student at the University of Toronto, and afterwards attended the Ontario Agricultural College in Guelph, graduating in 1915. After graduation, he was appointed to the staff of the Government Horticultural Experimental Station at Vineland Station. He was the By-Products expert there, managing the science of canning produce. By 1918, he was superintending the production of canned fruits and jams for the Ontario Government. These cans were produced to be shipped overseas for the Canadian wounded in hospitals during the First World War. In 1919, he went into the canning business at Vineland Station in partnership with his brother, Norman Fraser Culverhouse (1883-1951). The company was called the Culverhouse Bros.
Percy died of colitis on June 27, 1926 at the age of 33.
