| 5617 | [combined.ged] Florence Lilian Pelton Patterson says in her Pelton Jarvis book, "Harry w as the humorous member of the family - an extrovert with an engaging perso nality. He attended Woodstock High School prior to going to work in a ba nk in Ingersoll. In the boarding house where he lived, he claimed that t he homemade bread 'ad holes in it large enough to jump through.' With h is horse and buggy he would return to his father's farm most weekend s. He was very fond of children and showed his love for his nieces and ne phews, who in turn, were devoted to him. His visits were eagerly awaited a nd in between times he wrote letters, not only to the adults but to the ch ildren as well, which were almost as good as a visit. At Christmas time t here would be a large box of Laura Secord chocolates which came in the mai l. His promotions through the bank eventually took him to Chapleau, ON wh ere he met and married the lovely Emma Noel de Tilley. After his marria ge he joined a construction company and moved to Ottawa where their son, R obert, was born. In time he was transferred to Toronto and upon retiremen t, moved the family home at 556 Kings Street, Woodstock. Harry had the fa culty of creating a lighthearted atmosphere wherever he went. His fun a nd gaiety withal, he was a 1 Pelton in that he was a basically conservativ e, and an adherent of sound principles." | PELTON, Harry Benson (I9346)

| 5618 | [combined.ged] Florence Lilian Pelton Patterson says in her Pelton Jarvis book, "He was t all with black wavy hair which he claimed started to turn grey when he w as 20 years old. In my earliest recollections of him, he was snow whit e. He had the Pelton aquiline nose. Determined to get an education, in o rder to write his high school entrance examinations, he walked 13 mil es to Woodstock, where the tests were held. He passed, but never was ab le to attend high school, In his early teens he was sent via a one-way ra ilroad ticket to Fort William(Thunder Bay) to work in a general store. Aft er a couple of years he wished to leave as he had become distressed by t he unjust treatment of the Indians which he witnessed. Having saved mo st of his meager earnings, he was able to get to Toronto where, by livi ng in a room on Jarvis St, he attended Shaws Business School for a ter m. Then he acquired a position as a bookkeeper with the farm implement fi rm, Sawyer and Massey, in Hamilton, ON. One of his duties was the collect ion of outstanding accounts. When he began farming there was only one hor se and buggy to be shared with his father and brothers. His father control led all the finances until the farms were paid in full. Although he w as 31 years old when he married, for several years afterwards, when mon ey was required for necessities which could not be homegrown or produce d, he and Jenty had to ask his father for the cash and account for it. Th is rule undoubtedly applied to Herb and Sarah as well. In 1920 they we re devastated after the loss of their 9 year old son, McDonald (Mackie), w ho died of spinal meningitis; two weeks later her father passed away. mac k's death affected all of us for many years. Because it was believed th at Mack had contracted his illness partly because he had doffed his clothi ng and gone swimming in early May, For years afterwards we children we re not allowed to take off our long winter woolen underwear until the e nd of June regardless of how warm the weather. It was only a few days bef ore Jenty's death that she could bring herself to make arrangements for t he disposal of some of Mack's belongings which she had kept for 45 year s. She requested that some be burned; others to be placed in the casket w ith her. Lionel was treasurer of the Township of West Zorro for over 40 y ears. In the early 1920's he purchased one of the first automobiles in t he community--an Overland. As well, he had one of the first radios, and e arphone set which was purchased from Charlie Beagley of Embro. One of t he first in the community to have plumbing installed inside the house. In terested in world affairs and the stock market, he not only read the Toron to "Globe" daily, but would listen to the stock market reports and news br oadcasts on the radio. During his lifetime he had many illnesses and h is doctors claimed his recoveries were due, to great extent. To the good c are he took of himself. He went to bed early and rose early- neither smok ed or drank liquor. Sometimes he would take a cup of tea. He enjoyed read ing, travelling and talking. Occupied as a successful farmer and respect ed leader in the community, his honesty and integrity was beyond reproac h; self-educated, he possessed the power of reasoning and good judgemen t. As a father he was serious and stern, while at the same time, lovin g, kind and understanding. He tried very hard to treat us equally a nd to show no favoritism." | PELTON, Lionel James (I9341)

| 5619 | [combined.ged] Florence Lilian Pelton Patterson says in her Pelton Jarvis book, "Herb w as shorter in stature than his brothers, In 1909 he married the tall, goo d-looking Sarah Green. Sarah was a 1 helpmate to her husband and wonderf ul mother to her children; they were both hardworking individuals. Herb h ad more mechanical ability than his brothers. Whether or not he feared hei ghts, it was he who was always delegated to do the jobs which required cli mbing to high spots. Not only was he devoted to his own family, he was mo re than generous with others as well. He was particularly fond of hors es and often showed his teams at the fall fairs, sometimes winning prize s; a large prize-winning cup held an honored position in their home as tes timony. Often he played the violin at dances or at home, accompanied on t he piano by his wife and later on by other members of their family. Indus trious and enterprising, his farming standards were high. They were affil iated with the Harrington United Church where he and his family were loy al members. Worthy of esteem in the community, Herb and Sarah were favora bly regarded by relatives and neighbors alike." | PELTON, Herbert Vincent (I9342)

She made a ll the children's clothing - the boys suits out of their father's - did t he papering, had a large garden from which she did a great deal of cannin g, etc. In addition, she took part in the church work and when her husba nd was home, they had an active social life playing cards and dancing.

He worked in cooperation with his brothers, Lionel a nd Herbert. Unmarried, he made his permanent home with his parents. Aft er they moved to Woodstock, he would sometimes stay for the short perio ds in a small house on his own farm; often taking his meals or remaining o ver night at Lionel's place. Undoubtedly we children were noisy and bother some and he was always sending us back into the house 'to keep out of t he way'. When we became too noisy inside the house he would say: 'see h ow long you can sit on that chair and keep quiet!" We nicknamed him 'Bos sy Eggar' although he was the most kind and generous and always deeply con cerned for the welfare and good conduct of his many nieces and nephews.
