• Notes

  "Joseph Stanley Stauffer was born in Galt on June 16, 1896, the son of Joseph Stauffer and Magdalena Clemens. He was educated at Galt's Central Public School and at the Galt Collegiate Institute. Following graduation from high school he enrolled at Queen's University to study engineering. Mr. Stauffer's studies were interrupted by the First World War when he went overseas to serve with the Royal Naval Air Service. When the war ended, he returned to his studies and graduated, in 1920, as a metallurgist. Following graduation from Queen's University, Mr. Stauffer travelled to London, England for graduate courses in fuel technology at the Imperial College of Science. He then ventured into fuel technology, telephone, textile, stamping and financial interests, becoming an executive in all these fields, all the while accumulating a significant fortune which was used to establish the Joseph's. Stauffer Foundation. A quiet philanthropist, Mr. Stauffer contributed substantially to his alma mater and supported the Queen's University Endowment Fund and spear headed the Charles Poynton Memorial Award. He is reported to have sent cheques, anonymously at Christmas, to supplement the pensions of widows of the engineering professors who had taught him in his student days at Queen's University. Mr. Stauffer was a director of Stauffer-Dobbie Ltd., of Newlands & Co. and of Galt Metal Industries and was a member of the Royal Canadian Military Institute. He died in Toronto on June 16, 1978 and is buried in the Mausoleum in Mount View Cemetery." Cambridge Mosaic
