• Notes

  Rachel Snider, "was born July 23rd, 1863. She is unmarried and resides at home with her parents." Eby, Ezra E. (1895). A biographical history of Waterloo township and other townships of the county: being a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character. Berlin [Kitchener, Ont.]: [s.n.]. ________________ "Judgment for the plaintiff, Washington Bricker, Waterloo, as executor of the $40,000 estate of Rachel Shoemaker, who resided on Bingeman street, in an action for the probate of the will was delivered today by County Judge E.W. Clement. The judgment finds that Rachel Shoemaker was possessed of 'testimentary capacity' at the time the will was executed and at 'all material times'. Evidence was given at the time of the hearing that Mrs. Shoemaker had been mentally ill previous to her death. Mrs. Shoemaker, according to evidence given for the plaintiff, made her will in Elmira, April 12,1938. She died June 22, 1940. Josiah Shoemaker, her husband, who predeceased her, left his estate to be divided equally between his widow and his daughter, Erma, with the result that Mrs. Shoemaker's estate was augmented by $22,000. When she made her own will, according to court finding, she was disposing of an estate of about $16,000, consisting of four mortgages, two bonds and some cash in the bank. Evidence for the plaintiff brought out that the peculiar actions and conduct of Mrs. Shoemaker during the time of her husband's illness was due to jealousy on her part over other people looking after and caring for her sick husband." Hannes Schneider book pg 336 ________________ "(Elmira) Mrs. Rachel Shoemaker, 76, widow of the late Josiah Shoemaker, died today at the home of her sister, Mrs. Israel Groff, Hempton St. She was a member of Zion Evangelical church, Kitchener. Her husband predeceased her two years ago. Surviving are a daughter, Miss Erma Shoemaker of Kitchener, Mrs. Groff of Elmira..." KW Record obit. of Sat., June 22, 1940
