An Old Pioneer Dead.

Another of the oldest settlers of the Township of Woolwich passed away at Ennira, in the person of Mr. Louis Weber, who after having received a apoplectic attack several weeks ago, succumbed to its effects at the home of his son-in-law, Mr. M. H. Hemmerich, last Friday noon. Deceased was born in Hutchenbausen in Rhinish Bavaria, Germany, in the year 1827, and came to Elmira with his wife and three children in the year 1857. He settled on the farm now owned by Mrs. Braeuchle, about-one mile north- west of Elmira. Later he sold this farm and bought one about two miles west of Elmira, now owned by his son Charles. About 15 years ago he re moved to Hawkesville, where he entered into a general store business with his son Daniel. About 7 years ago he returned to Elmira where he lived with his daughter on William street. He was known as an industrious and respectable citizen. Like many of the first settlers of this neighborhood he was of a hardy constitution and was seldom indisposed until stricken by the disease of which he died. He was a kind husband and leaves a widow, six sons and four daughters to mourn their loss. The sons are: Louis, of Hawkesville, August and Charles, of Woolwich, Philip of Berlin, Daniel of Manitoba, Henry of Salt Lake City, Utah, and the daughters are: Mrs. L. Schmaermund, Mrs. M. H.

An Old Resident Gone

One by one, the old pioneer residents with their salutary influence, pass into the great beyond leaving behind them a generation which is prone to underestimate the work done and the influence wielded by their lives.

Death last Monday removed from a sphere of active life that extended far beyond the allotted three score and ten, Mrs. Louis Weber, sr. who had lived in this neighborhood about 40 years. Born in the Rheinish Palitinate, in a small hamlet named Gries, about 79 years ago, she came to America with her husband and three children in 1867 settling on the farm now owned by Mr. Israel Braeuchle, and situated about a mile north west of Elmira. Later the family removed to the farm now occupied by Mr. Karl Weber east of Elmira, then they lived a few years at Hawkesville after which they removed to Elmira where they lived with their son-in-law, Mr. M. Hemmerich where three years ago, Mr. Weber died. Ten children, all of whom are still living, had blessed the union of deceased and her husband, viz: Louis of Hawkesville, Caroline (Mrs. L. Sohmaermund), Karl and August of Woolwich Township, Philip of Berlin, Phillipina (Mrs. H. Hemmerich), Elizabeth (Mrs. Schraer), and Katie of Elmira, Daniel of Battleford, Sask., and Henry of Salt Lake City, Utah. Besides these, one brother, Mr. Charles Klinck, sr., three sisters, Mrs. A. Blatz, Mrs. P. Jansen and Mrs. Hy. Dunke, and thirty grandchildren survive her, to mourn the loss of a kind hearted active and provident mother and sister.

The funeral will be held today (Thursday) at 2 o'clock pm from the residence of Mr. M. Hemmerich to the Elmira Union Cemetery.

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 19^th September, 1829. On December 11^th 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.
