Notes:

We come to a log cabin, moved there, occupied by a negro, Levi Carroll [1804-1897], a one-legged ex-slave from the Southern States. He lived there for a number of years. This building had been erected in Waterloo in 1820 and was Waterloo's first school house. Carroll owned several acres between his dwelling and Agnes Street. His land, which he did not plough but cultivated with a long handled hoe only, was planted with corn from year to year and looked something like a plantation field in the south. Descendants of his lived in the log cabin after his death. Later, this building was moved to the Waterloo Park and in its place a concrete two-story building with a hip roof was erected by Dr. Schnarr, [771 King St. W., Kitchener, Waterloo Region, Ontario?] his house and surgery.

_____________

SCHNARR, ROBERT WERNER was born in Tavistock on February 3, l873, a son of Werner and Catherine Schnarr. He attended the local schools and in Philadelphia where he attended the school conducted by the Church of the New Jerusalem.

He studied medicine at the University of Toronto, graduating in 1889 and then took postgraduate work in Philadelphia at Kent's Outdoor Dispensary.

He opened his practice in homeopathy in Berlin in 1901. He developed a large practice, based on homeopathic principles, and being in good rapport with the local medical men, was able to refer patients who required surgery.

He was the representative for the homeopaths in the Council of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario, serving for about 25 years, and in 1935-6 was President of the Council.

When he had patients in the hospital he sent along a pillbox containing what appeared to be an infinite number of tiny pills.

It kept the nurses busy counting out the required dose.

He was a member of the Public Utilities Commission when Hydro was established.

He had a continuing interest in horticulture, and being well known in this field, was called upon to judge competitions in surrounding areas.

He died on January 31, 1957 when he was 83 years of age, and was survived by his widow, three sons and three daughters.
