    Notes:

    MRS. JACOB F. LICHTY.
    The unexpected death of this well-known and highly respected lady, which occurred at her home just east of the village last Saturday evening, cast a gloom of sorrow over the community. She has been somewhat ill of late but was thought to be improving. She retired early on Saturday evening and shortly afterwards complained of a pain in her heart, which rapidly increased until she expired in about twenty minutes. She was a daughter of Christian Zehr, sr., of this village, and was in her 32nd year. Besides her sorrowing husband, Bishop Lichty, she leaves a family of four children, the youngest a babe six weeks old. Then was an immense attendance at the funeral, which occurred yesterday. Bishop Bender of Tavistock, preaching the sermon, assisted by Mr. Gascho, of St. Agatha. The remains were interred in the cemetery adjoining Bishop Lichty's sorrow-stricken home.

    ________________________

    July 9. Michael Wagler, 98, was born on a farm (owned in 1960 by David Wagler) on the fifth line of Wellesley Township. When the Wagler family of the Amish-Mennonite faith came to Canada from Alsace, they brought Bibles which had been printed in their mother tongue, German, at the time of Dr. Martin Luther. The late Mr. Michael Wagler and his brother David, became the possessors of the Bibles. One, owned by the late Michael Wagler, contained an early exposition written by Martin Luther. Each time one visited the late Mr. Wagler and enjoyed seeing his treasured volume under his direction, it was the owner's graciousness and humility which gave the visit its greatest value.C.

    Fifth Line Wellesley, March 11, 1901

    It is with deep sorrow that we have to report the death of Mr. Jacob Wagler, who died on Tuesday, the 5th inst. at 5 o'clock in the morning. The funeral took place on Thursday morning at 9, and was well attended. Mr. Wagler was the first Amish settler in this community and was a man highly respected by all who came in contact with him. Many a weary traveller found shelter under his roof and he always was kind to them. No doubt he will be much missed. The sympathy of the community goes out to the bereaved family in this their sad affliction.
