    Notes:

    MICHAEL FRIES, SR. - Only a month after the death of his wife there passed away at his home here Michael Fries, Sr. The shock of his life partner's death and the pain of the parting was too much for his enfeebled body to withstand. The deceased was born near Heidelberg in 1889 (or possibly 1839, blurred). At the age of 22 he was married to Elizabeth Frey. They took up the duties of married life on a farm north of West Montrose, then mostly primeval forest. Here the deceased put in many a day's hard labor in clearing the forest and getting the land ready for the plough, while his wife looked after the housework and raised a large family of robust boys and girls. With industry they succeeded in building up a fine home for themselves. After about forty years of farm life, Mr. and Mrs. Fries came to spend the remaining years in quiet retirement in Elmira. They enjoyed good health until a few years ago when the infirmities of old age began to make themselves felt. The deceased is survived by a large family. They are Solomon of Saskatchewan, Veronica (Mrs. Henry Dobberthein of Iowa, Michael of Elmira, Margaret (Mrs. Wm. Dobberthein) of Elora, Daniel of Kitchener, Jacob of Elmira, John of Bollingbrook, Ont., Katie (Mrs. Plate) of Kitchener, Lydia (Mrs. Levi Snyder) of Woolwich. Christina, (Mrs. Arthur Rhodes) of Kitchener. Magdalena (Mrs. Armand Fulcher) of Elmira. One brother, Daniel of Kitchener, also 54 grandchildren and 36 great-grandchildren survive the deceased. The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon. Rev. L. Kalbfleisch of St. James church officiated. The pallbearers were six grandsons; Clayton, Fred, Clarence and Gordon Fries, Herbert Dobberthein and Gordon Plate.

    Notes:

    It is our duty this week to chronicle the death of Mr. Henry Christman, one of our pioneers. Mr. Christman died on the 9th inst., 1888 after a lingering illness of several years. His sickness was a complication of disorders, but death was due to flooding of the heart. Mr. Christman was born in Greese, Rhein Giessen, Baiern on the 1st of July 1818. He emigrated to America in 1846, going to Gensborough near St. Catharines, where he stayed four years, when he came to West Woolwich in 1850, being one of the very first settlers here. After his arrival here he worked for Mr. Edward Bristow at the blacksmithing for a time, afterwards starting for himself, at which he was employed until 1856 when he built the brick hotel now occupied by Mr. Henry Zilliax, and was second Postmaster here, being followed by Mr. Peter Winger our present Postmaster. After being in the hotel for some time he bough the farm known as the Christman Homestead, one mile south of Elmira, on which he lived 15 years, after which he retired to Elmira, where he lived until his death Mr. Christman was married twice having 11 children of the first wife of whom 6 are living. After the death of his wife he married the widow of Mr. Warle, having 6 children of his second wife of whom 3 are living. His wife and 9 children therefore survive him. His children are Mr. Philip Christman of Elmira, Mrs. Lewis Hollinger of Wallace, Mrs. Fritz Conrad near Elmira, Mr. Jacob Christman do., Mrs. Jacob Brown of Listowel, Mr. William Christman of Chippawa Hill and Herman, Leopold and Henry. Mr. Christman was a member of the Lutheran Church for a good many years, a staunch conservative and believer in the N. P. Mr. Christmas died surrounded by his children and large circle of friends. The funeral which took place on Sunday was largely attended.
