    From Pennsylvania to Waterloo

    A tall case clock with clockworks made in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania by B. Eby and walnut case made at a later date, possibly c. 1840, in Waterloo County, Ontario. The clock face is signed on the back: B. Eby.

    See also: Joseph Schneider Will, 1843; Joseph E. Schneider Account Book, 1848; Samuel B. Schneider Will, 1913.

    The clock was made in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania by B. Eby, one of a well-known family of clockmakers. It was brought to Waterloo County, Upper Canada when members of the Schneider family immigrated in 1807. The clockmaker apparently checked the works and signed the back of the clock face before it left Pennsylvania. Since the case appears to have been made at a later date of local walnut (c.1840), it is assumed that the works alone were brought from Pennsylvania and were used on an open shelf as a wag-on-the-wall.

    The clock is one of only a few personal possessions passed on through the family. Owned today by the seventh generation of Schneiders, it was returned to its familiar place in the Schneider Haus sitting room in 1981, as a long-term loan courtesy of the Barker family of Kitchener.
