Arthur married Lorena FRITZ, daughter of Christian FRITZ and Wilhelmina DRUMM. Lorena was born in Dec 1904 in Grey South Normanby On. General Notes: In 1955, Lorena is shown in Durham Ontario & next door is Emerson & wife Lillian Priebe Children from this marriage were: i. Woody Emerson "Woody" C PROCKNOW was born on 17 Mar 1931 in Walkerton, Brant Twp., Bruce Co., Ontario Canada and died on 11 Aug 1990 in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada aged 59. Emerson married Lillian PRIBYL. "On Saturday August 11, 1990, Sport Aviation enthusiasts in Canada lost one of their best known, respected, and colorful characters. Emerson "Woody" Procknow and friend Gerry Reynolds died in the crash of Woody's Zenith 250 into the Gatineau River near Ottawa, Ontario. Woody was born in Walkerton, Ontario on March 17, 1931, and lived in the Oshawa Ontario area for many years. The nickname Woody was bestowed when as a youthful lineman for Ontario Hydro, he showed an affinity for climbing hydro poles. Woody will be remembered as one of homebuilding's great men. In Canada, he was something of a pioneer, having built Stits SA-7A Sky Coupe CF-UKJ before he knew how to fly. He subsequently flew this aircraft the equivalent to 8 ½ times around the earth. UKJ is currently undergoing restoration by a fellow member of the Oshawa chapter. After retiring the Sky Coupe, Woody built the Zenith 250 in 18 months, completing and flying it in 1982. He had flown this aircraft almost 800 hours to the date of the ccident. Woody is sadly missed as he was a cheering spirit and an active participant in life, especially in all things aviation oriented. He was a member of the EAA, RAAC, a charter member and former president of the Oshawa EAA Chapter 364 (now RAA Oshawa District), the Oshawa Flying Club, Canadian Owners and Pilots Association (COPA), and the International Flying Farmers. The members of these organizations have missed his enthusiastic and ever present willingness to help in building and test flying airplanes, organizing flying events, or simply helping people move house. He gave many people, especially women and children, their first airplane ride, because he wanted them to share his joy of flying. Woody (who was a tad hard of hearing), with his famous hat band hearing aid system, has left a legacy of fond memories with everyone who knew him. As friend Bill Calver reminded us in a superb eulogy, "He is only a cloud away. He has slipped the surly bonds of earth." ii. Helen PROCKNOW. Helen married Antal (Tony) KERRY. Arthur next married Ruth Susanna SMITH, daughter of Floyd James SMITH and Lauretta Catherine ROSSELL. Ruth was born on 21 Aug 1926 and died in Feb 1957 aged 30. General Notes: Daughter of Floyd James Smith and Lauretta Catherine Smith Wife of Arthur Daniel Procknow Sister of Lauretta June Sullivan ; Edith May Ernest; Dorothy Smith and Donny Smith.
