    Death Curve Scene Of Third Fatality

    Josiah Eby Succumbs To Injuries Received When Truck Shatters Telephone Post

    LORNE MARSHALL IN HOSPITAL BADLY HURT

    Harry Heinrich Charged With Reckless Driving Following Highway Tragedy

    Josiah Eby is dead, Lorne Marshall is in a Kitchener hospital suffering from severe injuries, Harry Heinrich of St. Jacobs faces a charge of reckless driving while a big truck owned by Mr. Chris Dreisinger is a total wreck following an accident at the curve in the highway about a mile south of Elmira Friday afternoon.

    A preliminary Inquest was held Tuesday to inquire into the death of Eby, with Dr. LeRoy Wagner as coroner, but following the viewing of the remains the investigation was post-poned until Monday, June 3. By this time it is hoped that Marshall will be in condition to offer more light on the episode which ended so tragically.

    IS THIRD DEATH

    The accident occurred within 100 feet of where two persons were killed last August, where the road follows an elongated S formation. Just how the accident happened is still not definitely known but the authorities are working on the theory that the death car and that operated by Heinrich were being driven at a fast rate of speed perhaps were racing.

    Mr. Noah Martin, a hired man employed on the farm of Clayton Martin whose farm abuts the road at this point, was the only witness of the accident.

    According to his statement he heard the truck coming along at a high rate of speed and watched to discover how it would negotiate the curve. It left the road just before making the last bend and rammed a telephone post head on. The big timber cracked like a match under the force of the impact. The truck turned over and a portion of it was pitched over the fence while the two victims were tossed out. Eby was found in a half-sitting position near the shattered post while Marshall was about 15 feet away. The former was quite evidently seriously hurt and unconscious. His right leg was terribly mangled and the left apparently fractured. Marshall when picked up recovered and as he wiped the blood from a terrible gash over his eye asked for a cigarette and inquired faintly about Eby.

    Dr. LeRoy Wagner. returning from a call, came upon the scene of the accident and after rendering first aid hurried the two injured men to the hospital.

    HORRIBLY INJURED

    At the hospital it was found that Eby's leg was torn to the bone from the knee to ankle while the other leg was broken in two places. Infection to the mangled leg was the cause of death. Marshall is suffering from the gash over his eye and his vision is threatened. A portion of the bone is missing and the physicians fear that his head may be fractured. His condition is reported as serious.

    From the Information available Marshall borrowed the Dreisinger truck to gather up the Royal hotel laundry from a home in town where it is laundered. Apparently he later went 'to St. Jacobs and it was on his return trip with Eby that the accident happened.

    Members of the jury are H. 0. and Hilbert Weichel, Oscar and Fred Ruppel, W. Winter, C. Playford, M. N. Bearinger, E. A. McQuay and A. Winger, Foreman. Chief of Police Bromely was on the scene of the accident early and took charge of the investigation.

    Notes:

    Samuel Weber," eldest and only son of Henry Weber, was born November 26th, 1821. On March 7th, 1844, he was married to Anna, daughter of Daniel and Veronica (Schneider) Martin. She was born August 2nd, 1824. After his marriage he took possession of his father's large farm where he resided until his death which took place October 13th, 1886.* He was an ordained minister of the Mennonite Church. He was an eloquent speaker, a man of great influence and a good worker among his co-religionists. The church lost a worthy minister through his death. They had a large family, all of whom attained the age of twenty-one except two who died young."

    Martin Meeting House

    According to Isaac Horst, "Martins meeting house was the first of the Old Order places of worship to be built. A meeting house is reported to have been built in 1830; burial was begun in the adjoining cemetery in 1831. Martins was aptly named. The first three bishops of the area were Martins, all descended from the pioneer, Peter Martin. The land on which the house stands was formerly owned by Martins (1979: 376)." Peter Martin, Jr. purchased 220 acres of land from his brother, Henry Martin, on May 8, 1824. Apparently he set aside four acres for a meeting house and burying ground at that time. The first burial is reported to have been that of Peter Martin, Sr., who died March 2, 1831. The meeting house was enlarged in 1900.

    John Weber was the first minister, followed by Abraham W. Martin, Samuel Weber, Paul Martin, Tobias Martin and Urias Martin. At one time surrounded by countryside, the meeting house and cemetery are now completely encircled by the commercial development brought about by the rapid expansion northward of the city of Waterloo.

    * While in the town of Waterloo he met with an accident which caused his death. He met with a friend on the street and while engaged in conversation with him a tool of one of the party who was engaged in tinning the roof of Mr. Doersam's hotel, slipped over the edge of the building and struck him on the head. He was carried into the house unconscious and remained in that state until his death next day.

    Deplorable Accident in Waterloo

    A very sad and ultimately fatal accident occurred in the town of Waterloo on Saturday afternoon last, the victim being a very old and respected resident of the Township, named Samuel Weaver. It appears that at the time of the accident he, in company with a companion was standing examining the new patent iron shingles which workmen were at the time engaged in laying on the roof to the building at which they were standing. These workmen had with them an iron bar which they were using for some purpose, and which when not in use was placed with its end between the boards of the roof. By some means this bar worked lose and just as Mr. Weaver was looking at one of the shingles it slipped from its fastening and fell with crushing effect directly upon his head. As the bar weighted upwards of twenty pounds the consequences can be easily imagined. When picked up, it was found he was entirely unconscious, and examination showed that his injuries were such as to leave no hope whatever for his recovery. He lingered on in an unconscious state, however, until Tuesday morning, when he breathed his last. As we have said Mr. Weaver was universally respected wherever known, and his sad death has thrown quite a gloom over Waterloo and its neighborhood.

    Historic Building:
    The Wissler-Cascaden house, a two-storey red brick Georgian home was built in 1842 by John Wissler, a Waterloo Township pioneer who arrived from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in 1834. One year after his arrival Wissler established the Eagle Tannery. A shoemaking, harness making and mercantile business soon sprang up in conjunction with the tannery. This industry, including the workers homes on nearby Bridge Street, formed the nucleus of the settlement of Lexington.
    Wissler spared no expense in the construction of his home, elaborate window and door surrounds were included along with a plaster cornice in the drawing room. The most striking feature of the interior, however, is the two-storey front entrance hall which rises a full twenty feet to a magnificent plaster medallion on the ceiling. Access is gained through two arches which rest on moulded plaster shells and frame a cherry stairway which climbs to the attic level.
    A number of additions have been made to the home. The first, a two-storey addition to the west side was completed around 1858. The second, which contained a bake oven, schnitz oven, ash oven and smoke house, was added behind the first between 1859 and 1875. The last addition, this time on the south side, provided a one and a half storey salt box kitchen which was designated to serve as the doddy wing at the turn of the century.
    The property was sold to Samuel Weber in 1873. It remained in the Weber and Shantz families for over one hundred years until the late 1970s when it was converted into apartments and fell into disrepair. The present owners, Ron and Wendy Cascaden, have made a commitment to restoring the house.
    All of the exterior elevations of the Wissler-Cascaden House and the front hill are deemed to be of both architectural and historical significance.1a
