THE GRIM REAPER WIELDS SCYTHE WELL KNOWN ELMIRA WOMAN CALLED AT VERY SHORT NOTICE

The news of the death of Mrs. Albert Steinke came as a shock to the people of Elmira on Sunday. While doing a little fancy work after supper last Friday evening she suffered a stroke which rendered her unconscious.

Mrs. Steinke, nee Matilda Henrich, was born in Waterloo on Oct. [?4], 1874. At the age of fourteen she was confirmed and up to the time of her death was an active member of St. James Lutheran church and of its Ladies Aid. An attractive personality and genial disposition, made her a great favorite and her death will be lamented by a wide circle of friends.

Her only daughter, Mae, having died several years ago, she is survived by her husband and one son Milt[…?] who will sorely miss their devoted wife and mother. One brother, William Henrich of Detroit, and three sisters, Mrs. Dan Schaefer and Mrs. E. Hauser of Kitchener and Mrs. W. Ludlow of Cainsville also survive.

The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon. After a short service at the house, the remains were taken to St. James church where Rev. L. Kalbfleisch preached the funeral sermon.

Notes:

King Street , North Side

Union Street to Pine Street.-A narrow, two story brick building occupied by Christian Heinrich, a labourer. The gable was toward King Street.

A one and one-half story frame building moved from Waterloo and erected opposite Mt. Hope Street, used as a dwelling. This house is still standing. Back of King Street on the north side there was a pine forest which was gradually lumbered off. The stumps were raised by men who made an occupation of doing this. They had a heavy timber tripod frame with a long screw working through a head mounted on the peak of the tripod. The screw was raised by means of a suitable heavy nut which had a lever arm, extending outward and downward, to which horses were hitched and moved in circular path around the tripod, thus turning the nut and gradually raising the screw. The bottom of the screw had a crosshead from which hung chains which were fastened round the roots of the great pine stumps, and thus gradually pulled the whole stump out of the ground.

At the corner of Pine Street a small frame building occupied by Mr. Hoffman, wood turner, who mostly made small household utensils.
