John Wesley Firby was a Farmer. Jack always farmed on the townline of Malahide, part of Lot 35, Concession 8. According to his grandson, Maurice Learn, he was a very neat and tidy man, both with his person and his farm and equipment. He kept his buggy spotless and always shaved first thing in the morning (many farmers skipped this nicety for several days). When not working on the farm , he liked to be wearing a suit and tie. He and Maurice used to trap squirrels and as Sarah would not cook them, Jack would fry them up. He would buy liquorice for Maurice who pretended it ws chewing tobacco. Jack and Sarah retired to a brick cottage just east of the Corinth school.
