- 1930 census, Albany, Albany, NY, (27 S Hawk St) fam # 83b - Pitcher Ernest L, lodger, ae 56, widower, born in NY, parents born in NY, Dentist.Many Cooperstown friends were shocked to learn of the death, briefly mentioned. in these columns yesterday, of Dr. Ernest Leroy Pitcher, fifty-nine years old, which occurred shortly after 9 o'clock Tuesday morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. L. J. McKenna, No. 132, Chestnut street, where he had been ill for the past two weeks with pneumonia.
Dr. Pitcher was a native of Central Bridge, Schoharie county, where he was born September 18, 1873, the son of John Wesley and Roxie Livingston Pitcher. He was educated in the public schools of the locality, following which he attended the University; of Pennsylvania, from which he was graduated in 1893, with; the degree of D. D. S. Following his graduation he came to Cooperstown, and entered the dental office of the late Dr. Datus E. Siver for the practice of his profession, Here he remained until the retirement of Dr. Siver, when he assumed his business which he continued with marked success until 1927. For the last five years Dr. Pitcher has maintained a dental office at No. 27 South Hawk street, Albany, where he was practicing up to the time of his last illness.
In 1900 Dr. Pitcher was united in marriage with Miss Florence Eugena Weller of Fort Plain, whose death occurred April 6, 1921. Four children were born to them, Mrs. L. J. McKenna and Dr. Leroy E. Pitcher of this village; Mrs. Frederick D. Call of Lewiston, Me.; and Ensign Neil W. Pitcher, at present stationed with the U; S. Navy on a receiving ship in the Charleston Navy Yard. The aged mother, Mrs. Roxie L. Pitcher, now eighty-four years old, whose home is here with her granddaughter, Mrs. McKenna, also survives, together with one brother, Harry C. Pitcher, of Port Crane, Broome county; and three grandchildren, Rona G., Barbara Jean and Donald Fay McKenna, all of this village.
Dr. Pitcher, at his death, was a member of Otsego Lodge, No. 138, F. & A. M., of this village, and a former Past-master of the Lodge. H e also was affiliated with the State and National Dental Societies, and was a former
officer of the Sixth District Dental Society, having at different times held the office of President and treasurer in that society. He served for some time on the Board of Village Trustees, and in connection with his affiliations with the First Presbyterian church of this village he had held the offices of trustee and also treasurer of the church, and had also given many years of service as a member of the church choir.
probably one of the most outstanding civic activities to which he devoted much energetic effort and many months of his time was the raising of funds through public subscription among former residents and baseball fans for the purchase from private ownership of the present Doubleday Field, thereby perpetuating its historic associations, and preserving it for all time as the original field upon which the game of baseball was first lined out and played, as well as a public playground for the youth of the village. the undertaking of raising the necessary fund for the purchase of the plot proved a long and at times a most irksome task, which however, was full accomplished by Dr. Pitcher, and to him it should now serve as a fitting memorial to one who gave his best endeavors for the fulfillment of something worth while to the community which he best loved.
In his passing many will experience a real personal loss of a friend, and the deepest sympathy of the community will go out to the members of his immediate family in their bereavement.
The funeral was held Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the First Presbyterian church, of which he had been a member for nearly forty years The Rev. Dr. Edward C. Petrie, pastor, officiated, and the interment was made in Lake wood cemetery, with a Masonic committal service, conducted by the members of Otsego Lodge, No. 138 F. & A.
