Hilda Geddes - Snow Road Column, Perth Courier

This community was shocked to hear of the sudden passing of Eldred Gemmill, once a resident of Snow Road on December 17. He died very suddenly at his home. A great many from here attended his visitation at Blairs', Perth, on Sunday, as well as his funeral at Elphin Presbyterian Church at noon on Monday, December 20. Burial was at Crawford's Cemetery, with lunch following at the new Church Hall.

Eldred will be greatly missed by both family and community. He was born and brought up at Snow Road, went to the school here, and worked on his father's farm until his marriage to Lila Ashby when they purchased the Delbert Wood farm in 1936. They worked this farm until 1945 when they purchased the Dan Geddes farm near the head of Dalhousie Lake. They had a family of six - Kathleen, Miriam, Thelma, Dorothy, David and Clarence, to whom we extend our deepest sympathy. Also to his brothers and sisters - Elmer, Stanley, Doris and Laura.
Eldred was a long-time member of Elphin Presbyterian Church, and of Cornucopia Lodge #299 at Snow Road. He received his 60-year jewel from this Lodge in September 1991. The Oddfellows held their service at Blairs' on Sunday afternoon.

Walter married Lila Elsie Ashby on 9 Oct 1936 in McDonald Corners, Dalhousie Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.
