Elmer B. Huxsaw

April 28, 1918 — January 20, 2006

There will be a funeral service at noon Monday at the Lane Funeral Home Canfield Chapel for Elmer B. Huxsaw of Canfield who passed away early Friday morning at St. Mary’s Alzheimer’s Center in Columbiana. Elmer was born April 28, 1918 in Canfield a son of the late Frederick and Maude Moherman Huxsaw. He was a carpet cleaner for Hammar Carpet Cleaners for many years retiring in the 1970’s. Elmer had an innate love of the land and was blessed with a green thumb. Many area residents will remember him for his produce stand at his Tippecanoe Rd. home. He sold his vegetables, fruits and honey, for a quarter here and fifty-cents there. He was a winner of many ribbons for his entries at the Canfield Fair. Family members have fond memories of suitcases gingerly packed with strawberries, tomatoes, and zucchini, so the goodness of “Uncle Elmer’s Garden” could be enjoyed no matter where they traveled or lived. His gift of growing was shared with all! He adored his cats and watching and feeding the birds. A survivor of early childhood polio, he never let his disability keep him down. He enjoyed many fishing trips to the wilds of Canada, often being flown into the wilderness. Elmer was an avid bowler for many years and even boasted a couple of perfect 300 games. Never having children of his own he was a thoughtful and very special uncle to all his nieces and nephews, and will be missed. He also leaves two sisters: Jean Carver and Norma Yoder both of Canfield. His wife the former Marjorie Mumaw whom he married August 27, 1954 passed away on August 20, 2004. He is also preceded in death by two brothers Orville and Howard Huxsaw. Friends may call from 11:00 AM until noon on Monday at the Lane Funeral Home Canfield Chapel. Material contributions may be made to Hospice of the Valley, 5190 Market St., Boardman, OH 44512, in Elmer’s name.
