    Emil's father Isaac owned farm on 9th of Peel, Wellington cty Ontario. Emil married Lydiann Musselman dau of Amos whose farm adjoined Isaac's farm After marriage they moved to the upstairs of Ruggles Store in Flordale near Elmira Ont. where their oldest child Elton was born.

    After about a year they moved to the Elmira creamery building on the north-west side of Elmira and while here Emil became employed as a maintenance man at the Dominion Tires Co. in Kitchener. Elton is not sure how dad made the trip every day from Elmira to Kitchener but claims that within a year they moved to Benton St. S. near the old creek. in Kitchener. While here their back yard almost touched that of Isaac Umbach who lived behind them on Mitchell st. Kitchener which street ran off Queen st. S. almost into their back door. It was here that Reta was born. Shortly after they moved to the South end of Peter St.and then to the Alexander Hotel in Waterloo, which stood on the corner of William and King st (N. East) where there is now a doughnut shop. It is not known how long they stayed here before moving to 51 Domimion St. just east of the Tire factory where Elton thinks both Milton and Elmer were born. He feels that they were here for some time and then they were moved to 171 Strange st. right beside the factory where dad could be on call every minute of the day. It was a solid two story home with a double porch on the front( up and down) and a large maple tree on the front lawn.This tree was used extensively to tie the small kids to to keep them from running away. Lloyd, Lorne and Harold were born here. We lived here till dad died when we moved to the south end of Strange St. besides the Kitchener Water works, where we stayed till Lorne was about 26 or 27.

    • Eby ID Number: Waterloo-23791

    Notes:

    A great woman who loved her children dearly and suffered long from lack of returned love and from arthuritis and rheumatism. Her last years were made comfortable by her son Elmer, who though single and running a drug store, took her in and succored her till her death. He was and is a good man and christian. He took care of mother freely and without thought of his own welfare,when none other would have done so, and I personally commend him for his actions and concern. Were it not for his forthrightness she would have come to nought, although her life itself was a long process of worry and depression, .... Many were the nights that I spent with her at home, in my youth, while others were out enjoying their existance in various pursuits, I spent much of my youth playing games with her or just talking or listening to the radio as she rocked herself in her old rocking chair. I remember few of our conversations but frequently see her in my minds eye as she sat, a weary and disfigured body crippled with rheumatism and arthritis, who patiently and persistently toiled each day to feed and keep her family, without the aid of a husband, who, had he lived would have just added more sorrow to an already heavy heart. How difficult it is to love someone when you don't really know any love in return.Her marriage to dad must have had some good parts, which I know it had, but nearly all the wonders and harmonies of my early days are about and involve, my mother.

He suffered a paralytic stroke, but he kept on moving about when most other men would have thought it impossible. In his younger days he took active part in church, school and the general affairs of life. Burial was in the Baptist cemetery in Upper Woolwich (Sandhills side road) the church is no longer standing. Rev. John Meyers of New Hamburg conducted assisted by Rev. W. J. Zimmerman of Elmira. The Sandhills side road cemetery is now abandoned, but has been taken over by the township of Woolwich. It was cleared and all the stones were set in long cement trenches because the stones had all fallen or were knocked down so the actual places of the graves is not known. This was done by members of the family before the township took over.

    Notes:

    Philip Allgeier was born in Duren, Baden, Germany, in 1827. At the age of twelve he came to Canada with his parents who settled in Woolwich Township, near Hawkesville. In 1? the subject of this sketch was married to Mary Brubacher. In 1865 they settled in North Woolwich, where they experienced some of the hardships of pioneer life in hewing out a home for themselves; but success crowned their efforts, and in their later years they could enjoy the results of their labors in their comfortable home. After they had journeyed together for 43 years, toiling, rejoicing, and sorrowing Mr. Allgeier was called on to mourn the loss of his beloved wife. He remained on the old homestead with his son Peter, enjoying fairly god health until Feb. 11th, when he took sick. He grew gradually weaker until four days afterwards, when he passed peacefully away at the age of 76, leaving two sons and four daughters to mourn the loss of a kind father.

    The funeral took place on Wednesday morning, Feb. 18th, to the Floradale Mennonite Cemetery, a large number of friends and relatives paid a last tribute of respect to an honored friend.
