  • Notes 
    • 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.
