The Herald joins with his many friends in extending congratulations to Hespeler's grand old man, and wishes him continued health and happiness.

    HESPELER'S OLDEST MANN PASSES
    SOLOMON COBER LIFE LONG RESIDENT OF DISTRICT PASSES IN 95TH YEAR

    In the passing of Solomon Cober at his home here on Saturday afternoon, Hespeler's oldest man has gone to rest. Another link with the past has disappeared, for Mr. Cober had been a member of one of the Pioneer families of Puslinch Township and this district, and had spent almost his entire life within this community. The son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Cober who came to this district with the immigration of the early nineteenth century, the late Mr. Cober had watched his township and the nieghbouring towns grow from small Hamlets. During the long course of his lifetime he had made a very wide circle of friends and he held their respect and high esteem of all who knew him. Death came to Mr. Cober, in his 95th year, following an illness of some duration. Born in Puslinch Township, Mr Cober spent his youth there. He was married twice, his first wife being Miss Hanna Strome. Shortly after his marriage he moved to Huron Township where he farmed for several years. While he was residing there his wife passed away. In 1882 he was married at Zurich to Miss Elizabeth Pletch. Some time after that he returned to his native Puslinch and to farm, and fourteen years ago he and Mrs. Cober celebrated the golden anniversary of their wedding. The late Mr. Cober was a member of the Mennonite Church and had taken an active interest in the work of the church. Surviving are his wife in Hespeler and ten children. Mrs Cyrus Gingrich of Stevensville, David Cober of Kossuth, Simon Cober of Strussburg, Mrs. Jessie Winger of Wambleet, Mrs. Ralph Elston of Aberfoyle, Jacob Cober of Toronto, Mrs Isaiah Beer of Clearview, Mrs. Carl Baker of Kindesly, Sask., Wesley Cober of Toronto, and Mrs. Norman Rieck of Hespeler. Two sons, Henry and Edward Cober, predeceased their father. A brother Isaac Cober of Kossuth, and a sister Mrs. E. Gingrich of Akron, Ohio also survive. The funeral was held on Monday afternoon with a short service at his late residence. The funeral then moved to Union Cemetery, Puslinch where service was held prior to interment in Union Cemetery. Rev Ernest Swalm of Stayner and Rev Bert Shirk of Stevensville conducted the services. The pallbearers were Nelson Cober and Jeniah Cober of Staynor, Ben Winger and Earl Winger of Wainfleet Howard Cober of Toronto and Ervin Cober of Strasburg.

    FATAL ACCIDENT.--On Monday forenoon the village was thrown into a a state of excitement by the occurrence of one of the saddest accidents Dundee has seen for many days. Mr. Moses Hunsberger in the morning left home a hale and hearty man,leaving his family in the usual good spirits, but was taken back at noon & stiffened icy corpse. He had taken a daughter to a farmer near Ayr and was returning home, when, about 11.30 as he was driving down Benjamin street, opposite Rev. E. Gruetzner's, the front axle broke. The buggy dropped striking" the horse's heel, and the infuriated beast. dashed madly down the street turning past Poth's shop, dragging the buggy and its unfortunate occupant. It sharply turned Chipman's corner towards the black bridge. This turn, so short and made at a break-neck speed, hurled Mr. Hunsberger head-first against the frozen bank. He was at once carried into Poth's shop and Dr. Miliar was immediately summoned. All assistance was in vain, however. He showed no signs of life except a light breathing until shortly after one o'clock when he expired. The family had promptly been called. His wife arrived in time to see her husband breathe his last. He leaves a widow and 5 children, 2 sons and 3 daughters. He was about 56 years old and died a member of the Mennonites. Much sympathy is expressed for the bereaved family.

Shortly after their marriage they moved about a mile south of Breslau where he was the proprietor of the large farm now in possession of his youngest son, Absalom. he is the only one of his father's large family that is still living, and is yet quite strong considering his great age. His mental powers are good yet and he seems to enjoy the best of health but is anxiously waiting for the time to be called home to the mansions beyond. Since the decease of his wife he resides in his own house on the old place, having a housekeeper. His family consisted of eight children".
