___________________

The oldest in the family and probably the orneriest though a nice guy, but if my memory serves me right he was afraid of no one and let it beknown. I seem to remember that he played a real part in establishing our rights to survival in the area where we moved to after Dad's death.

Was a trucker, machine worker, rubber worker and a welder for many years. Lived on Patricia st. for many years and died there. Always friendly but rather coarse and uncouth in his language and of course always an Umbach and outrageously plain in his comments or feelings on any subject underdiscussion.

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.

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.
