Phillip Louis (Phil) Perew
Phillip Louis (Phil) Perew (1862–1946) was a colorful and legendary character of Tonawanda (city), New York. He was born Philippe Louis Proulx at Trois-Rivières in Quebec, Canada in 1862 to father, Louis Proulx aka Perew (1834–1913) and mother, Léocadie Gauthier. After his mother's death He emigrated to the United States when he was about 17 years old in 1879 with his father and his many brothers and sisters. His father was a lake boat captain and settled his family in the Goose Island section of Tonawanda, NY. Phil followed his father onto the Great Lakes as a lake boat captain. A lake boat captain could only work his trade about six months of the year since foul weather and the freezing of the lakes prevented lake commerce during late fall, winter, and early spring. During the off season Phil busied himself inventing, running hotels, and promoting sporting events.〔"The Evening News of the Tonawandas", Dec. 7, 1946, 'Phil Perew Dies Of Heart Attack: Noted as inventor', pp 1 & 5.〕 He became a major owner and landlord of much of the real estate in Goose Island section of Tonawanda (city), New York. Phil married but had no children.
