| 267 | | Ellen Wagar Late Ellen Wagar was a friend to all and a productive citizen of Parham The death of Ellen Wagar at her home here June 28 was, in a very real way, the end of an era. She was an institution in the village. She touched the lives of everyone. As a mother of 11 children and a widow of 38 years, she was an active member of the community and an inspiration to her family, friends and womanhood. After the death of her husband, Ellen opened and operated an inn. She played the organ for her church and piano for local dances. She was local switchboard operator. She held several offices with the United Church Women and worked for the Parham Agricultural society. She made quilts and maple syrup. She was always busy and she always had time for her family and friends. More than just a house Lydia Elizabeth Ellen Wagar died in the house she was born in 82 years ago. Directly across from the Anglican church, the stately frame residence was for many years far more than just a house. It was the Parham Inn and Ellen was the innkeeper. When her husband William, who worked at the time for Courtauld's rayon plant in Cornwall, died in 1943, Ellen faced a crisis. They had lived in the Parham home previously, as had Ellen's parents before them, and she gravitated back here, no one knows quite why for sure. "Opening the inn was her own idea," her daughter Iva Grant of Kingston said. "She came here, happened to notice the house was for sale and bought it." "She got the house, barn, chicken house and four acres for $3,500," said he son Eric, who is principal of Hinchinbrooke public school. "She later sold off the four acres and just kept the house." "Yeah," Iva teases Eric and all his fraternal siblings collectively, "because she had a hard time getting some of you fellows to dig all those potatoes." Some adjustments will have to be made at the Parham United church since Ellen's passing. She was organist there from 1957 until early this year. "They just couldn't seem to get anyone as reliable as her." Carol her youngest daughter says. "I know she kept on playing a lot longer than she intended to." Eric, Iva and Carol are asked to try to sum up their mother's chief qualities in a few words. There are long pauses . She doesn't sum up in a few words. Tears are welling up in her eyes, Carol tries first. "She treated everybody with respect. She was a Christian, devoted to the church." Eric struggles for a word and finds 'resourceful' his best thumbnail description. Iva remembers her mother as a "patient, kind person." All terms are found wanting and Carol tries again. "She always had a quiet kind of way of controlling, or correcting our behavior," she says. It triggers something from her childhood. "Remember the frying pan, Iva?" she grins at her sister. "Aw come on." Iva protests "You know very well it was a tin one. It wouldn't hurt anybody." It's out of the closet now and there is no stopping it. Iva had a battle with one of her sisters one day long ago. She's not sure now whether it was Averil or Kathleen. "They were both agitators," she chuckles. Whichever, a frying pan was at hand at the critical moment. "Jeepers, they were all saying it was this great bug cast-iron one," Iva explains,. "But it was only tin. Wouldn't hurt anyone." Robert died seven years ago, was born in 1920. Carol, last of the 11, came along 21 years later. Robert and guy were overseas and three other Wagar children were beyond minding stage when Ellen set up the Village Inn. The tourist trade was such as it was in those days, would be a means of providing for the other six, Iva, then 16 was also working in Cornwall. She kept her job. Vacationers soon learned the Inn was a great place to Lodge. the Wagar children remember on New York state man who stayed at the inn annually before actually buying a cottage nearby. He still spends holidays at the cottage. One night when he arrived after dark and found the lights out, the man quietly "checked in" on the front porch, where he slept until morning. Not that he would have disturbed the household by rousing the occupants. Ellen was used to it. "There were so many of us heading off in all directions every morning," Iva recalls. "And it seemed every one of us went to school or to work at a different hour, anywhere from 5 to 9 a.m." 'Forgot to look at clock' Mother used to get us all out in plenty of time. Sometimes she'd wake up at 2 a.m., forget to look at the clock and start getting people on their way. " It was so funny one time. we were still in Cornwall and she sent Dad out to work before the street cars started running. He waited a while and then walked the whole four miles to work, got there a whole hour early, still wondering what had happened to the street cars." In 1954 Ellen turned her house into the Parham exchange of the old Morrow Telephone Company. She became switchboard operator, apparently as an incidental service, mission central for the area.The buzzing homestead was transformed into a forerunner of today's telephone answering service. "People would call, just to say their first name and leave messages for others who might be calling for them, Iva said. Her switchboard work ended in about 1966 when the company was sold and more modern equipment installed. Eric remembers the year because the Canada pension Plan just came into effect. Just barely. "Her pension started off at $2 a month," he smiled. "Later on it got up to $6." Local and area dances Ellen played piano or organ for local and area dances, receptions, weddings and funerals. She learned her music from her sister Myrtle Ball of Verona, who, though 88, still lays for area functions and even gives the odd lesson. With a number of willing family members Ellen served both at their home and at the annual fair. She held several offices with the United Church Women and served the Parham Agricultural Society as secretary-treasurer for many years. The Wagars raised pigs and chickens and grew vegetables. Ellen made her own maple syrup and occasionally sold handicrafts she crocheted or knitted. And she made quilts. "But she never sold them." Eric said. "She always gave the quilts away. In fact she gave one to each of her 11 children and 25 grandchildren. we all have one." That would add up to 36 quilts, then wouldn't it? "No," Eric says. "There were a lot of other people who got them too. I don't know how many." Some of the family have gone further afield but most have settled in Eastern Ontario. Guy lives in Johnstown, near Prescott, and Averil Goodberry, along with Iva and Carol make their homes in Kingston. Eric and his sister Kathleen Goodfellow live here and brother Roger is just down the road in Verona. Douglas works in St. Catherines, Randall in Louisiana and Aileen is vice-counsel at the Canadian embassy in Washington. The Reverend John Matthew, minister of Parham United Church is in the market for a steady organist these days. It hadn't been a problem since Ellen Wagar took on the job 24 years ago. --From the Scrapbook of Mrs. Madeline Howes (Wagar) | |

| 292 | | Eugen Hersemeyer Hersemeyer, Eugen Jakob Eugen passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family on Saturday, June 19, 2021, at the age of 82. Eugen was predeceased by his wife Hilda (Byers) who passed away in February. Eugen was the dearly loved father of Gary and Heather (John) and much adored Opa of Garrett and Haydn. Born on June 18, 1939 in St. Wendel, Germany, Eugen was the youngest of three brothers born to Karl and Hedwig Hersemeyer. He was predeceased by both brothers Karl (Anneliese) Hersemeyer and Leo (late Rosie) Hersemeyer. Eugen was raised during WWII and often shared stories about a time many of us can?t even imagine. His father was killed in the war when he was five, and from that young age he developed an especially close bond with his maternal grandmother who instilled upon him his love of nature and the wilderness. Eugen survived an enemy airplane attack at five years old, retaining the scar where the bullet grazed his head. It was only moments later that he watched that plane crash into a nearby hillside and he said he never forgot the smell of that burning plane. He was with his mother when their passenger train was attacked by an enemy airplane. His mother was shot in the hip, and he was pulled to the safety of a nearby ditch by a train engineer. Many died that day. Years later, Eugen ran off to join the French Foreign Legion, and on one harrowing occasion, had to hide inside a dead camel to escape enemy gunfire. His uncle, who was a member of the police force, eventually found him and returned him home to his family?s great relief. When Hilda visited Germany in 1985, his uncle told her that as a young lad, Eugen was not just bad, he was ?terrible!? There are many more stories like this that will be passed on for generations to come. Eugen went to trade school from ages 14-16 to be a Millwright. He worked in the Heiligenwald coal mine as a Millwright until he was 18, where he had gained a reputation for being fearless, getting danger pay for doing risky work like inspecting the cables from the top of the moving cage. He admitted that at times, he was indeed afraid, like when he had to hoist large tools up precarious ladders. He recently told us a story of how he just missed jumping into an automated cage and fell multiple stories down the mine shaft into water below, which fortunately he hadn?t yet drained. He got 3 weeks in a rehabilitation centre, which he said was quite enjoyable. At the age of 18 his appetite for adventure led him to Canada, where he dreamt of visiting the northern-most regions of the country. Eugen arrived at Pier 21 in Halifax in August of 1958 on the steamship SS Reindam. He took the train to Hamilton, settled there and a few years later he met Hilda. Soon after they were married and started their family. Eugen discovered his love of northern Ontario through his wife Hilda, who was born and raised in North Himsworth Township. In 1973 they moved from Grimsby to Nipissing Township where they lived the remainder of their lives, warmly embraced by Hilda?s family and many friends. Eugen especially enjoyed ice-fishing with family and friends on Lake Nipissing where, with his trusty Polaris and family in tow, he jumped many jagged pressure cracks and unfailingly navigated through blinding snowstorms and freezing temperatures. In the summer he loved boating to Cross Point in his Giesler cedar strip boat with a 40 hp Mercury motor. He held the boat steady through one particularly rough storm that saw 8-foot waves crashing down. He also enjoyed deer hunting in November with the Bear Creek Road gang. His father was a ?Gartenmeister? and Eugen acquired his green thumb honestly, working with Hilda in their small greenhouse and garden. They were known throughout the region for their bountiful tomato plants and beautiful bedding plants. Eugen was also a well-known local handyman who could craft anything, from buildings to boat props and everything in between. He could do it all and many sought out his expertise. Eugen was a founding member of the Nipissing North Volunteer Fire Department, helping build the current firehall/community centre. He was an active member of the Powassan Bee Club, attending monthly meetings to share his knowledge and always to learn more. As a beekeeper for over 35 years, he remained abundantly enthusiastic about his hobby, seeing his six hives survive strong through this past winter. He was introduced to beekeeping as a youngster by his great uncle, who was a well-known beekeeper in Saarland, Germany. Even though he made Canada his beloved home, he remained a resolutely proud German and visited his and visited his mother, brothers, nieces, nephew, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends as often as he could. Even when he could no longer travel, he kept in touch with regular phone calls. When the whole family visited Germany with him in 1989, he proudly took them to all the places that held special memories for him growing up. It was a trip to be treasured. He spoke German to his grandchildren from the day they were born and ensured they got their German citizenship. As with Hilda, spending time with his twin grandsons Garrett and Haydn was his greatest joy. Opa was always teaching the boys something, from making a fire from cattails on the frozen creek, to building a shelter in the bush and a snow fort in the yard, to making tools on the forge, growing giant pumpkins and this past year, he taught them to weld. The handmade knife and flint set he crafted for each of them will be forever treasured. His always smiled the brightest when they were around, told the funniest stories and enjoyed the biggest hugs. The day before his passing he happily celebrated his 82nd birthday hanging out with Garrett and Haydn. During the last few years Eugen underwent many procedures and treatments to battle esophageal cancer, from major surgery to multiple radiation and chemotherapy treatments. Even as his health declined, he continued to live his life his way, making his own choices and remaining his independent and, at times, stubborn self. He was so grateful for all the support he received, being sure to thank everyone with a big smile and of course, readily giving his opinion on how to do things right. He never once lost that boyish smile with that hint of rebellion. The Hersemeyer family wish to extend special thanks to his very dedicated Northeast Cancer Centre health care team and his exceptional at-home VON palliative care team, most notably Natalie (VON) and Dr. Jinnah. The family will be holding a private funeral service, followed by interment at Nipissing Cemetery. Should you wish, memorial donations to the Ontario Beekeepers? Association or the Northern Cancer Foundation would be welcomed. | |
