Israel and Louisa Umbach by Tiny (Umbach) Goebel

Israel Umbach was born in Woolwich, County of Waterloo, Ontario on March 3, 1867. He was the youngest of eight children. Louisa (Axt) Umbach was born in Woolwich, County of Waterloo, Ontario on November 29, 1868. She was the youngest of 10 children.
They came to Edmonton from Ontario in April, 1892, with three children, Martha, Sarah, and a son Conrad who passed away March, 1893. It took seven days and nights by train to come to Edmonton.

While they lived in Edmonton, Dad worked for a cartage company, hauling supplies from the railroad station in South Edmonton over the river on a ferry to North Edmonton. He often was asked to translate for the German-speaking immigrants.

Dad took a homestead (NW 12-53-28-W4) in the Glory Hills District just north of Stony Plain. Life on the homestead was very hard for them. There were only trails and they had only wagon and horses for transportation. Edmonton was the closest place to buy supplies. Eventually a store was built in Spruce Grove and Mother would walk with eggs and butter to sell, in order to buy food and clothing.

Dad was a carpenter by trade so he spent a lot of time in Stony Plain working, and Mother was left to do the farm work. My older sisters and Mother did all the sewing by hand.

Mother and Dad moved to Stony Plain in 1906. They lived in the old creamery while Dad built our house, which is still being lived in. The creamery was on the property where the hospital now stands.

The first years they lived in Stony Plain, Dad was busy building. He helped build the first livery barn, the first bank, the school, the Methodist Church, the old fire hall, and a number of other buildings.

Dad was named sheriff for the town, as well as overseer and tax collector. He was paid $100.00 a year and two and a half percent for collecting taxes. Once the railroad didn't pay their taxes. One day as he was working he heard the train whistle and he decided it was a good time to do something about collecting the taxes. He got a heavy logging chain and padlock from Oppertshauser's Hardware and chained the train to the tracks. After a few telegrams to the headquarters of the railroad, they decided they would pay the taxes owing the town.

Mother and Dad were members of the United Church. Mother was a life member of the Women's Institute and a member of the Red Cross. She did knitting for the soldiers in the first World War. She attended concerts and dances in the old fire hall. Sometimes she worked as a midwife with Dr. Oatway.

Mother and Dad had 13 children (two passing away as infants): Martha Peddie, Sarah Bishop, Lorinda Griffin, Pearl Adille, Harvey, Levi, Mabel King, Erven, Matilda Goebel, Cecil, and Eleanor Guennette. Of the 13, only four are still alive, Martha Peddie (92) Mabel King (79), Matilda (Tiny) Goebel (76) and Eleanor Guennette (72).

Dad passed away on June 6, 1948, and is buried in the Glory Hills Reform Church Cemetery. Mother passed away on November 7, 1962, and is buried beside her husband.

Farmer-Thresher-Woodcutter-Stationary Engineer for Dominion Tire-now Dominion Rubber-Strange S.t. Kitchener. Died as chief engineer in that Company's employ. Was self trained and so well liked that the company flag was flown at half mast at his death.

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.

In Memoriam
Schaefer - In loving memory of our dear Lillian who fell asleep in Jesus four years ago Oct. 25^th.

As some sweet blossom droops and fades,
While blighted by the frost,
She faded from before our eyes
And all too soon was lost.
But in God's garden, free from pain,
Where grow His fairest flowers,
We know what we will find again
This vanished bloom of ours.

___________________

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.
