CANAJOHARIE, May 5—One of Canajoharie's oldest residents, Egbert Schoonmaker, 91, died at his home, 47 Wheelock Street, yesterday morning at 10 o'clock following a long illness.
Mr. Schoonmaker was born in High Falls, N. Y., February 18, 1858, and came to Canajoharie as a child. His wife, Ophelia King Schoonmaker, died in 1939.
