  Noted events in his life were:

• Anecdote, Jul 1808, Piper's Corners, Oxford County, Ontario, Canada. ⁵⁰ Piper's Corners: Joel Piper, a United Empire Loyalist from
Massachusetts, came with Thomas Ingersoll's party of settlers
to Oxford upon the Thames in 1793. He settled on lot 12, Conc
2, one mile south of the Old Stage Road on the east side of the
North and South trail. The community which developed here was
named after him. On Tremaine's map of 1857, there are Pipers on
three of the four corners. The Mabee family occupied the
southwest corner, Lot 13, Con 2, as they had ever since Simon
Mabee, a fellow U.E.L. from Massachusetts, had arrived from
Norfolk County, in the early 1800's. Mr. Simon Mabee played a
vital role in the development of Piper's Corners. It was on the
north east section of his property that the First Baptist
Church in Oxford was established, and the Piper's School was
built. Towards the south end of his farm, he constructed a dam
and pond, and built a grist mill for the early farmers. The
impressive stone house that he erected with the date 1808
inscribed above the doorway is still standing, and is now
(late1970's) occupied by its present owners, Mr. and Mrs.
Murray Budd. The Piper's Corners Baptist Church was the First
Baptist church in Oxford County. In July 1808 Peter Teeple,
Simon Mabee, Zachariah Burtch, Deborah Sales, Abigail Burtch
and Elizabeth Scott met at the home of Peter Teeple to come
under each other's watch-care. In 1809 they organized the
Church. Meetings were held in the homes of the members. In
Februry 1841, Elder Mabee offered 1 € acres on the northeast
corner of his farm for a church and cemetery. It was located
just south of the school with the cemetery at the rear of the
church and school. This cemetery became neglected and a new
owner of the farm allowed his cattle to pasture there. The
markers, which were numerous, were broken and the farmer
gathered them up and put them in the fence corner near the
cemetery around 1890 to 1900. They remained there for some
years, then these tombstones were made into a nice smooth
marble walk from the house to the barn.
Simon Mabee built the Grist mill to serve the settlers. This
mill continued in operation for many years. Mr. Ernest Mabee a
great-grandson told Miss Hattie Mabee of Ingersoll, about its
operation.

In 1834 the first log school was erected a mile south of
Piper's Corners. The Second school was built in 1856 on land
was obtained from Walter Bishop Mabee, the son of the pioneer
Simon Mabee.
