Mrs. Matt Eamer, Aged Resident Buried Sunday [says Monday, below]
Well Known Woman Was In Her 91st Year; Many At Funeral
Recovering from a serious illness from pneumonia during January last and in her usual health up to Easter, Mrs. Matthias Eamer, one of the oldest residents of Cornwall, died at her home 521 Gloucester street, at 10.20 o'clock Friday night. [16 April 1937] Mrs. Eamer's death severs a link with the past in this section, as she was born at the Toll Gate and would have reached her 91st birthday had she been spared until May 3 [or 8. Neither of which match 1901 census.] Up to the first of the year Mrs. Eamer had enjoyed remarkably good health for a woman of her age and was quite smart and active. During recent weeks time began to take its toll and the machinery of life gradually weakened until death came peacefully Friday night. Mrs. Eamer, whose maiden name was Elizabeth Carpenter, was a daughter of Solomon Carpenter and was a member of one of the pioneer families of this district. She spent her long and useful life between the old home section and Cornwall, making her home here since her marriage 69 years ago. She was one of the original members of the Church of the Good Shepherd and for many years was actively associated with the Ladies' Guild of that church. In her own home circle she was a devoted wife and mother, a woman ever ready to do a kindly act for neighbor [sic] or friend, and she enjoyed the love and esteem of all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance. Her death will be regretted by her many friends. Her husband died August 7, 1932. Left to mourn her loss are three sons and three daughters - Mrs. Hugh Adams, Marcellus, N.Y.; Mrs. George Warner, Youngstown, Ohio; Mrs. Margaret Doyle, Perth; John Eamer, David Eamer and Alexander Eamer, all of Cornwall. She also leaves three brothers - Matthias Carpenter, and George Carpenter, Cornwall; Wallace Carpenter, Cornwall Centre. She also had four great grandchildren - Mary Adams, Toronto; Jean Melson, Cornwall; William and James Johnston, of Youngstown, Ohio. Funeral Monday Attended by many old friends of the family, the funeral was held from her home, Monday afternoon to the Church of the Good Shepherd and Woodlawn cemetery. The service was conducted by Rev. A. D. Floyde, rector. The pall bearers were J. J. McCutcheon, Alex. Adams, William Munroe, Alex. Perier, David McCracken and Lindsay Kirkey. Relatives from a distance attending the funeral were Mrs. George Warner and David Warner, of Youngstown, Ohio; Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Gorman, of St. Catherines; Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Adams and Mrs. Lester Norris, of Marcellus; Mrs. Andrew Doyle, of Perth; Mrs. Margaret Carpenter and her sister, Mrs. Thomas Flynn, of Chesterville; Mr. and Mrs. A.

John Reuben Gallinger died in Wisconsin leaving wife Annie May Chapple and 4 kids. The two boys Harvey "Harry"Gallinger, President, Door Catch Company, Superior, Wisconsin In 1920, and Hiram "Bernie" Gallinger, Proprietor, Superior Door Catch Company, Superior (Douglas) Wisconsin In 1920, were very much involved in the Door Catch Company. But I cannot see where she fits in unless she is simply a Calhoun girl whose sister is Mae Gallinger Fyckes - should that be Mae Calhoun Gallinger Fyckes.] [Arlene Frolick writes: There must be a connection here, and it's so good of you to catch this connection to Fickes. On the 1920 Superior city, Douglas Co., WI census, enumerated with the widowed Anne Chappell Gallinger and her daughter Florence (Harry and Hiram were mar and enum. with their own families) was Mildred Fickes, age 27, a niece, born in Canada, immigr. to US in 1919.]
