    _____________________

    An exceedingly sad tragedy was enacted on Sunday forenoon at the home of Edward Musselman, Weber St., east, whereby the husband and father took his lite. To accomplish his purpose, he used a revolver, and shot himself in the right temple while in bed.

    Mrs. Musselman had gone to attend service in the East End Mennonite Church and left her husband at home along with two bright little girls. They were playing about the house, and their father remained in bed in his chamber. His brother Fred, who boards there, was upstairs.

    He was startled by the report of a revolver being discharged and thinking it came from outside, ran downstairs. There he found the children frightened and on looking into his brother's room found him in bed, with the revolver beside his head and blood issuing from his ear.

    Fred rushed over to a neighbor, Mr. L. Schwartz, and Mr. W. E. Gallagher, who lives nearby, was also called in.

    Mr. Schwartz went to the church to bring Mrs. Musselman home and Dr. Lackner, corner was also sent for. He could, however, do nothing, as death was almost instantaneous.

    The revolver had been kept in a drawer n the secretary in the parlor, and the victim of his own rash act got up, put on his trousers and went into the adjoining room to get the weapon. On returning to his room he again disrobed and lay down. The revolver was found beside his head and the arms were at his side.

    The Coroner on investigating the circumstances decided that an inquest was not necessary.

    The deceased was a man about 28 years old, and a son of Mr. Jos. Musselman, of near Floradale.

    He was a furniture worker in the employ of the Krug Company. He was of an eccentric nature, and the Coroner was informed by the wife that her husband had in the past threatened to take his life and hers as well. No direct motive can be assigned for the terrible deed. The widow is prostrated with grief and the sympathy of the entire community goes out to her.

    The deceased was a member of the Canadian Foresters. The funeral will be held on Tuesday afternoon at Elmira.

    Death of Henry Snider

    The old pioneers of this district are fast passing from the scene of action. Another one was laid away on Wednesday morning in the person of Henry S. Snider, who died on Monday morning. Deceased came to this part of the country when it was yet a wild waste of woodland. By hard work he cleared away the forest and became possessed of a fruitful and well-cultivated farm, besides securing farms for his sons. He was of a reserved and quiet disposition and seldom came to town during the last few years of his life. Death was due to old age -- the candle was burnt out. Deceased leaves a widow, three sons, namely Joshua living near Elora, Reuben on the Elias Eby farm, and Paul at home; four daughters, namely Katie married to Elias Bricker of Okotoka, Alberta, and Magdalena, Lavina and Angeline. The interment took place on Wednesday forenoon in presence of a large number of relatives, friends and neighbors.

    Another Pioneer Gone

    The old pioneers of Woolwich are disappearing from the scene of action. Another one passed away, on Thursday is the person of Elias B. Eby of Floradale neighborhood.

    The Eby family are of Celtic origin; After the founding of the Mennonite body they united with the, and as early as 1683, we find one Jacob Eby ordained bishop in Zurich, Switzerland. The ancestor of the Ebys of the country was Theodorus Eby who came to Pennsylvania in 1715. His grandson, David Eby, came to Canada in 1807, and later settled north of Waterloo where the subject of this sketch was born on the 19th September, 1829. On December 11th 1853 he was married to Rachel Shantz. They settled on the farm a mile south-west of Floradale when it was all bush but 10 acres. Their first house was 14 ft. by 16 ft. in size with one window containing 4 panes of 8 by 10 inches. The roof was made of hollowed out basswood logs. But through the beginning brought hardships, Mr. and Mrs. Eby were undaunted, and with industry and economy became possessed of one of the finest farms in the Township. And to the original farm they added several others so that their children when they grew up, had a fairly good start in life. Deceased lived on the old farm until his death, with the exception of a few years that he lived in Floradale, where his wife died about six years ago.

    To Mr. and Mrs. Eby were born 12 children, one of whom died before his parents. The living are: Absolom, of Elmira; Susannah (Mrs. Reuben Snider) now living on the old Eby homestead; Jesse, living in the Northwest; Reuben, near Winfield; Amos, near Floradale; Noah, of Winnipeg; Hannah (Mrs. Enoch Burkhart) Jacob, of Didsbury, Alberta, Rebecca (Mrs. Noah Good); of Floradale; Elias of New Haven, Conn., Rachel (Mrs. Emerson Morrison), of Didsbury, Alta.; Besides these there are 54 grandchildren, so that there is not much danger of the Eby family dying out yet.

    One sister of deceased, namely Mrs. Samuel Snider, also survives him. Deceased was of a retiring disposition and a good neighbor, always ready to lend a helping hand where such was needed. The funeral will be held this (Saturday) forenoon, and will without doubt be largely attended.
