| 6252 | [combined.ged] He was a Farmer. He resided in Bennington, Oxford, ON, CAN 1879. He mov ed in 1918 to Woodstock, ON, CAN. Florence Lilian Pelton Patterson sa ys in her Pelton Jarvis book, "He was tall and straight with piercing bl ue eyes, he was the patriarch of a large and diversified family of wh om he was proud. At home he was known as "the Governor" but to his frien ds as "Hank Pelton". He kept in close contact with his family, far and ne ar, checking on everyone and everything until late in his live when he bec ame blind and feeble. Father and sons worked together sharing duties a nd machinery. An early purchase was a horse-drawn steam engine threshi ng machine to help with the harvest; the second thresher was of steam trac tion. Besides mixed farming they bought and sold cattle and horses. Reti ring from farming in his early sixties they began a series of moves. In 1 918 they moved to 556 King St. Woodstock, ON, CAN where he lived for the r emainder of his life. Upon taking up residence in Woodstock, he soon miss ed the close contact with his sons and related farm activity. Frequent ly he would visit them, traveling by train to the Bennington station, stay ing overnight and returning to Woodstock the next day. When Edgar purchas ed his first Model T Ford, he learned to drive. In later years wh en he no longer went to the farms as often, his walks around Woodstock wou ld take him to the high school, where by then, many grandchildren were att ending. His purpose was to inquire into their individual behavior, attend ance and abilities from the principal. He was a frequent visitor to the h igh school. He had a dry sense of humor and enjoyed teasing -- fro instan ce, after his wife invited the Woodstock WCTI to hold a meeting at the hom e, he announced he would serve the group his homemade elderberry win e. Of course he didn't but the household was apprehensive until the meeti ng was over and the people dispersed! Much respected and loved, he was, p erhaps a little feared by some of the younger grandchildren; we were alwa ys being interrogated and wished him to have a good opinion of us. He d id everything in his power to make certain his family conducted themselv es in the proper manner and to their best advantage, often issuing instruc tions on behavior -- such as at funerals; 'Stand out so you'll be seen '. Gradually he went blind from cataracts on both eyes, and as his eyesig ht dimmed, the location of the furniture in the house was not changed so t hat he could move about unaided. When it became impossible to go ousti de for his daily walks, he continued his exercising by pacing up and do wn in the sun porch, having previously determined the number of turns it w ould take to constitute a mile." | PELTON, Henry (I006975)
