Aaron Groh, one of Hespeler's best-known citizens, died suddenly in his 72nd year at his residence on Monday morning. The deceased had been suffering from heart trouble for some time, but seemed in the best of health on Sunday, having attended church services as usual.

Mr. Groh was born near Kossuth and later came to Hespeler where he established a wagonmaking business, and continued at this until he retired a few years ago. He was a prominent member of the Methodist church and latterly of the United Church, having been Sunday School superintendent for some 23 years, as well as being a member of the session and of the church board. He is survived by his widow and one daughter, Mrs. George Williams, of Toronto.
