| 14377 | Niagara Gazette - 10/26/1958 "YOU SHOULD never worry about having something to do tomorrow. If you do, you're not ready for retirement . . . " That a d v i c e comes from Joseph F. Shomers, the city's chief electrical inspector, who is ready for retirement. On Oct. 31. he'll close his record books at City Hall for the last time, ending a career as a municipal employe that began June 1, 1927. "I feel good about retiring . . . I guess I'm a little lazy," Mr. Shomers,quips. The congenial city official, 67 years old, lives at 1029 92nd St., in the LaSalle section of the city. He was born at 339 Sixth St., which makes him a fullfledged native of Niagara Falls. In fact, the Shomers' family roots go far back into the history of the city. My grandfather on my father's side was here before the Civil War," Mr. Shomers said. "When the Civil War came, he lost a leg serving in the Union Army. Then my grandmother volunteered as a nurse." MR. SHOMERS, a career city employe, first became involved in municipal affairs' way back in 1906 when Anthony C. Douglas was running for election against Mayor O. W. Cutler. Joseph Shomers was just a boy that election night. Mr. Cutler was declared reelected. Jubilant Cutler backers formed a winding torch parade, marching to the winning candidate's home. Young Joe Shomers. then 15, was in the parade. The next day came a recount. Douglas had won the election! "And I got heck for staying out so late that night," Mr. Shomers recalls. A KEEN INTEREST in municipal affairs apparently stayed with Joseph Shomers, for he became LaSalle village clerk on April 1, 1921. He served in this post until 1927, when LaSalle was annexed by Niagara Falls. Mr. Shomers then became a clerk in the city assessor's office, working in this capacity until all of the village property was transferred to the city assessment rolls. On Jan. 14, 1930, Mr. Shomers was appointed an inspector in the city's electrical department. His job entails inspecting and giving final approval to all elec-. trkal installations in buildings constructed in the city. And by virtue of his. job, he's come to know, virtual every nook and cranny of the city. AND HE'S QUALIFIED for the job. Mr. Shomer's experience in the field includes employment, in the maintenance department of the New York Telephone Co., the old Federal Telephone Co., the Ontario Power Co. and the Niagara Electric Service. During his youth Mr, Shomers was educated at the Fifth Street School and at Niagara Falls High School. In 1911, he married Gertrude H. Luick, also of Niagara Falls. Mrs. Shomers died last January. They have eight children: Joseph J. Shomers, Parkers- burg, W.Va.; Frank Shomers, 1254 88th St.; John Shomers, 1029 92nd St.; Mrs. Emily Chris- tian, Packard Ct.; William Shomers, North Tonawanda; Mrs. Joyce N. Schultz, 1229 93rd St.; Thomas G. Shomers, North Tonawanda; and Clarence Shomers, North Miami Beach, Fla. NORTH MIAMI BEACH will fit right into Mr. Shomers' retirement. He plans to visit his son there during the winter months. And while in North Miami. Mr. Shomers will get to see another Niagara personality Adin W. Chase, who retired last year as the city's traffic director. Mr. Chase lives just south of Miami. Asked what he plans to do after retirement, Mr. Shomers replied: "NothingI'm just going to have a good time and do a little fishing occasionally. He'll probably do a bit of reading, too. Mr. Shomers says he subscribes to Reader's Digest and reads it "from cover to cover" every issue. His favorite meal is a "good steak." * * * MR. SHOMERS is rightfully proud of Niagara Falls as his home town. He helped organize the National Electrical Contractors Assn. chapter here and has travelled about the country a lot as an officer. "When people say, 'Oh you're from Buffalo,' I resent it," Mr. Shomers said. "I say I'm most certainly not from Buffalo, I'm from Niagara Falls!" In view of this, Mr. Shomers should be a pretty good ambassador for the city while visiting in Miami. | SHOMERS, Joseph F (I69567)

| 14383 | Niagara Gazette - 10/26/1970 LOCKPORT - A barely scarred tree, inches from an untouched telephone pole, and a badly mangled car gave mute testimony today to an accident early Sunday which took the lives of three men. Pronounced dead on arrival at Lockport Memorial Hospital were: Raymond D. Simmons Jr., 23, of 4175 Day Road, Town of Lockport, the driver, with head and chest injuries. James P.

They said Simmons and Meyers had been thrown agak*t the dashboard and windshield and that Storting had been thrown against the back of the front s e a t. Although the late model sedan was equipped with seat belts, police said they were not in use alUiough no one was ejected from the car. An apparent witness to the crash was a night watchman of the Upson Co. in Stevens Street, Roger Baker of 1566 Van Buren St., Olcott. As crowds gathered around the death car parked in a service station yard later Sunday, the entire front of It was concave, having been wrapped almost completely around the tree. The door on the passenger side, obviously sprung, hung c o m p l e t e ly open. Survivors Are Listed Sterling made his home with his mother, Mrs. Mary Sterling, who survives him. He Is also survived by a son, Samuel, and a daughter, Dorothy; a brother, Douglas Storllng of Lockport; a sister, Mrs. Paul Flagler of Midd- l e p o r t and his two grandmothers, Mrs. Gertrude Sweeney of Newfane and Mrs Rhoda Useomian of Lockport.
