Mr. Oppertshauser had been in ill-health for a couple of years. Last summer he was obliged to go to the hospital in Kitchener for treatment, where he had to undergo a serious major operation. He spend five weeks there and returning home, seemingly felt considerably better for a time, but his condition again grew worse and the end came on Tuesday.

    The late Mr. Oppertshauser was born in Woolwich Township, being a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Conrad Oppertshauser. When a young man he went to Sebewaing, Mich., where about 38 years ago he was married to Marie Armbruster. He resided in Sebewaing in all about seven years, and five years after his marriage he returned, taking up farming in North Woolwich. After twelve years on the farm he came to Elmira and has been resident here for 21 years. He was a member of St. James' Lutheran church.

    Besides his widow the late Mr. Oppertshauser leaves a family of two daughters and two sons, namely: Mrs. Cecil Heipel, of Elmira and Mrs. Charles Miller of Kitchener, and Messrs. M. J. and Walter at home. One brother, Mr. Henry Oppertshauser, of Kitchener, also survives.

    The remains will be resting at the Dreisinger Funeral Home until Thursday evening when they will be taken to his late home on William street and the funeral takes place from there on Friday afternoon at two o'clock to St. James' Lutheran church for service by the pastor, Rev. L. H. Kalbfleisch. Interment will take place afterwards in the Elmira Cemetery.

    Notes:

    MRS. MARIE OPPERTSHAUSER

    The death occurred very suddenly of Mrs. Marie Oppertshauser on Saturday, May 13th, at her home on William Street. Mrs. Oppertshauser had apparently been in her usual good health going about her daily duties during the early part of the day. Shortly after dinner time, she was noticed to slump and a hurried call to her son, Milton, who was nearby, brought a ready response. The grim reaper had made a hasty call, death being due to heart ailment. Mrs. Oppertshauser succumbed almost immediately.

    Born 61 years ago in Sebewaing, Mich., she came to Canada with her husband 36 years ago, and resided on a farm three and one-half miles northeast of Elmira. For the past 24 years she had been a resident of Elmira. Married in Michigan to John Oppertshauser on May 10th,1898, her husband predeceased her.

    Mrs. Oppertshauser was an ardent adherent to the St. James' Lutheran Church and took an active part in its organizations, being a member of the Ladies' Aid Society and the Women's Missionary Society.

    Two sons survive, Milton and Walter, of Elmira. Two brothers, John of Detroit, Mich., and Fred, Saginaw, Mich., one sister, Mrs. Arthur Notter, of Tacoma, Wash., and two daughters, Marie, Mrs. Cecil Heipel, of Waterloo and Eleanor, Mrs. Chas. Miller, Kitchener, also survive. The grandchildren are Elaine, Helen, Robert and Ronald Miller.

    Funeral services were held from the home and St. James' Church on Tuesday afternoon. Rev. L.H. Kalbfleisch, pastor in St. James' Church, officiating at the services and graveside. Interment took place in Elmira Union Cemetery.
