Mr. Wilkins has been a consistent winner of prizes for superior cheese-making at many of the big exhibitions throughout the country, notable among these being the Chicago World's Fair and the Toronto and Ottawa Fairs. His latest achievement was the winning of the Silver trophy at the Perth mid-winter fair, 1918, where the contestants numbered over two hundred. Mr. Wilkins' father's name was George Wilkins, and his mother was Margaret Maloney. His wife's maiden name was Charlotte McRoberts and he is the father of three sons and one daughter.
